“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.” 

"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.
