Divided into five weeklong learning sequences, the 50 lessons span the ELA standards, bringing a Monday-through-Friday clarity to the sometimes mysterious process of skill-building through demonstrations and practice.

Comparing and Contrasting with Publishing Using Digital Tools
Informative Writing with Use of Text Features

Each of the 50 lessons is eminently dippable. But if you want to do more extended instructional planning, there are lots of additional tools—including lists of mentor texts, and If/Then and Extending-the-Work charts—within the book and on the companion website: www.corwin.com/commoncorecompanion.

Jan Richardson "With personal insights and energy, Janiel Wagstaff provides effective and powerful demonstrations for how to link reading and writing instruction.

Whether you are an experienced educator or new to the profession, you will appreciate these daily lessons that are certain to boost your students’ reading and writing abilities."
Maria Walther "Janiel thinks of everything! The reading and writing lessons are classroom-tested, engaging, and you can practically see and hear the young learners ′getting it′. The ′goods′ that make it workable in any classroom include mentor texts, student writing samples, master teacher tips, IF/THEN support for a range of learning outcomes, lesson extensions, and suggestions for differentiation. A welcome resource, providing step-by-step method for introducing the Common Core standards to primary grade students."
Wiley Blevins "This book makes me particularly hopeful. It is grounded in sound research and theory, but is wholly practical and accessible. It lays out a clear mandate (too long lost) to have students communicate as much as possible like experts in a discipline. It encourages teachers to join students in probing the capacity of each discipline, in its own way, to help students think, inquire, solve problems, collaborate—and answer the question, "What is life, and who am I in it?" This is Disciplinary Literacy encourages us as teachers to rediscover the complexities teaching and learning and to reinvent our classrooms, ourselves, and our students."
