The CCSS require that students must now become creators, critics, and communicators of ideas across disciplines, yet many students need daily teaching with an extra emphasis on accelerating their academic communication skills. This book describes seven research-based teaching practices for developing complex language and literacy skills across grade levels and disciplines: using complex texts, fortifying complex output, fostering academic interaction, clarifying complex language, modeling, guiding, and designing instruction. You`ll discover clear descriptions and examples of how these essential practices can—and should—be woven together in real lessons and classroom activities and sample lessons focusing on language and literacy development, and strategies for building sustained growth in the practices.
