Summary | "This new text is built in mind specifically for grades 3-5 teachers around best practices for the intermediate classroom. Shifting the Balance 3-5 introduces six more shifts across individual chapters that: Zoom in on a common (but not-as helpful-as-we-had-hoped) practice to reconsider -- Untangle a number of "misunderstandings" that have likely contributed to the use of the common practice -- Propose a more science-aligned shift to the current practice -- Provide solid scientific research to support the revised practice -- Offer a collection of high-leverage, easy-to-implement instructional routines to support the shift to more brain-friendly instruction. The authors offer a refreshing approach that is respectful, accessible, and practical -- grounded in an earnest commitment to building a bridge between research and classroom practice. As with the first Shifting the Balance, they aim to keep students at the forefront of reading instruction."-- |
