Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Organizing the literacy block can be very challenging with the rigorous and complex curriculum demands of the Common Core, not to mention the additional challenges of meeting all students' needs through differentiation. So many teachers come to me frustrated and asking, "How do I fit it all in?" This book is a fantastic resource!"

--Karina Nevers, Learning Strategist, Las Vegas, NV

"Diana and Betsy Sisson's book Re-envisioning the Literacy Block blends the theoretical with practical applications that provide excellent resources and tools for educators to become quality literacy teachers. Not only does the book offer teachers direct resources to impact their instruction, it also provides them with strategies to share with parents so they are better equipped to help their children develop and practice their literacy skills at home."

--Ann Linson, Superintendent, East Noble School Corporation, Kendallville, IN
