Promoting the Gift of Literacy : 101 Lesson Plans for Oral and Written Language

101 innovative, ready-to-use literacy lessons designed for three developmental stages and arranged by four critical domains of study.

This book provides functional, pragmatic activities for educators, future teachers, and parents to promote the gift of literacy to others. 100 detailed lesson plans for the domains of oral and written language, word recognition, comprehension, strategic reading for narrative text, study skills, and strategic reading for content area text.

The 101st lesson is blank for further planning. The plans are designed for readers in three developmental steps: initial reading, transitional, and basic literacy.
