What is Focus on Text : Tackling the Common Core Reading Standards, Grades 4-8 about?

As schools shift to the Common Core, many English language arts teachers are left with questions about how their classrooms should look. Is fiction out? Can I still do strategy instruction? Does close reading mean deliberating on each word? Finally, there's a resource with all of these answers and more. In Focus on Text, bestselling author Amy Benjamin provides practical guidance on how to realistically implement the Common Core reading standards. Part I of the book examines misconceptions about the standards and what's really required. It also takes you inside classrooms to see how teachers are modifying their instruction. Part II tackles each reading standard for grades 4-8. You'll learn how to teach the standards with literary and informational texts and how to use them as a springboard for instruction in writing, language, speaking, and listening. Topics include... \* Defining close reading and how is it different from word-by-word reading. When and how do students need to go over a text meticulously? \* How to use scaffolding through background knowledge to help students with challenging texts \* The best instructional practices to help students increase their range of reading
