Description - The Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Continuum, Second Edition by Irene Fountas
The Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Continuum, Second Edition: A Tool for Assessment, Planning, and Teaching, PreK-8
There has never been a more comprehensive resource available to teachers that does what the continuum does—provide specific behaviours and understandings that are required at each level for students to demonstrate thinking within, beyond, and about the text. These behaviours and understandings describe what students will be expected to do in order to effectively read and understand the text.
More in-depth, more intuitive, and more essential than ever— The Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Continuum, Second Edition is the essential tool to guide your assessment, activate responsive teaching, and support your students on their language and literacy journey.
The Literacy Continuum provides a way to look for specific evidence of learning from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8, and across eight instructional contexts. Each instructional context contributes substantially, in different but complementary ways, to students' development of the literacy process. With this indispensable literacy tool, Fountas and Pinnell remind you of The Literacy Continuum's critical role in transforming literacy teaching and learning.
