About the book

The unique organization emphasizes a developmentally and culturally responsive approach to literacy instruction

• At-a-glance tables at the beginning of each developmental chapter summarize the literacy characteristics of the current and preceding developmental stage, helping readers compare and contrast the developmental characteristics of reading, writing, and word knowledge (vocabulary, phonics, and spelling).
• Meeting the needs of English learners is addressed through special Working with English Learners features in each chapter and an entire chapter (Ch. 5) dedicated to the special needs of ELs. Both specific accommodations as well as culturally relevant and culturally expanding pedagogy are covered.
• Teaching readers who struggle is the focus of Chapter 11. New content includes updated discussions about Response to Intervention (RTI)/MTSS; new research-based methods proven to accelerate the achievement of both struggling readers and all learners; and expanded coverage of dyslexia.
• Practical classroom resources are provided in two new appendices: an Assessment Appendix and an Instructional Appendix. A library of downloadable, ready-to-use assessment tools and instructional resources are linked via marginal notes at point-of-use but are also grouped at the end of the text.
• Revised, updated, and new research is referenced throughout the text to support both ongoing and contemporary literacy research.

Pedagogical features address components of literacy in every chapter

• Learning Outcomes help guide reading and identify key chapter learning goals at the start of each chapter. Chapter summaries are keyed to learning outcomes.
• A new Step–by Step feature distills important instructional sequences and the pacing of instruction.
• Reading and Writing in Digital Contexts features are now incorporated in every chapter to highlight the importance of digital literacy and new ways technology can be used to enhance teaching and learning. Resources to support teaching literacy remotely are a new addition.
• Children’s/Young Adults’ Literature Connections are integrated throughout Chapters 3 through 11 to give timely, recommended title lists for planning standards-aligned lessons. Each of these literature features has been revised, updated, and expanded to provide an in-depth inclusion of titles across all genres to reflect culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse characters, settings, and communities, as well as expanded lists for LGBTQ+ youth.

Streamline assignments and grading with the LMS-Compatible Assessment Bank.
Quizzes and application exercises are included in an LMS-compatible packaged file to offer instructors maximum flexibility in importing, assigning, and grading assessments via Blackboard Learn, Canvas, Brightspace by D2L, and Moodle.

• Learning Outcome Quizzes can be assigned via the LMS for each chapter learning outcome. The higher-order, multiple-choice questions measure students’ understanding, guide their learning expectations, and inform their accountability and applications of new knowledge. The questions are automatically graded and include feedback for the correct answer and for each distractor to help guide students’ learning.
• Application Exercises in each chapter provide opportunities for students to apply what they have learned. The exercises are usually short-answer format and can be based on Pearson eText Video Examples as well as scenarios modeled by pedagogical text features. When students submit the exercise within the LMS, a model response written by experts is provided.

For courses in foundational reading methods.

A comprehensive, accessible guide to developmentally and culturally responsive literacy instruction
Teaching Reading and Writing: The Developmental Approach gives pre-service and experienced teachers the knowledge and tools they need to teach reading and writing effectively in a developmentally responsive and integrated way, while meeting the diverse needs of students in PreK-8 classrooms. The book reflects an integrated model of literacy instruction based on the understanding that reading and writing are developmental processes, presenting the essential components of literacy in every chapter.

Designed to encourage teaching in a student-centered, research-based way, the book begins with assessment to help readers learn to identify students’ stages of development as a means for determining not only what to teach, but when and how to teach it. Foundational chapters address the nature of development, while additional chapters are devoted to exploring each stage of development. Using a conversational tone to present a wealth of content on both print-based and digital literacy, this book helps readers connect theory to practice through real classroom vignettes and sample lessons; authentic student work samples; and tools for organizing and managing a comprehensive, developmentally responsive literacy program.

The 2nd Edition includes new learning outcomes, step-by-step features, at-a-glance development characteristics tables, and practical classroom resource appendices to help highlight important concepts and practices that pre-service teachers can use in their classrooms. Every chapter features updated, inclusive recommended literature lists across genres and cultures; more integrated, updated content on digital literacy; and up-to-date research on literacy development, instruction, assessment, and intervention.
