Description
Invitations has encouraged and supported thousands of K-12 educators in the change process. The text (the white pages) provides in-depth information for putting whole language theory into practice, as well as step-by-step demonstration lessons for topics such as becoming a whole language teacher; shared reading and shared writing for all grades; guided reading - whole class, small group, and individualized; grouping for success; using literature meaningfully; developing literature extension activities; responding to literature through literature response logs and discussion groups; setting up an independent reading program; teaching phonics and skills strategically; journal writing, letter writing, and story writing for authentic purposes; integrating spelling into the language arts; getting the publishing process going in the classroom and in the school; integrating the language arts through literature and across the curriculum; understanding and utilizing meaningful evaluation procedures for teachers and students - anecdotal records, grading, and self-evaluation; applying holistic strategies to L.D. students and "at-risk" learners; organizing and managing the whole language classroom; and establishing teacher support groups and other support networks.
Each chapter in the book is written in a knowledgeable, personal voice and is complete in itself. Chapters can be read in any order to suit individual needs.
Now, the section of Invitations known as The Blue Pages has been updated, expanded, and revised to provide the most comprehensive annotated teacher resources available in one place. It includes the latest and best children's and young adult literature K-12 including many multicultural titles and supplemental lists; professional texts; assessment and evaluation books and resources; spelling books and resources; math, science, and social studies resources; journals, journal articles, newsletters; literacy extension resources that support the integration of the language arts across the curriculum; and extensive and practical appendices for classroom use.
