Hearing about the “Science of Reading” and trying to make sense of it all? “Shifting the Balance: Six Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Balanced Literacy Classroom”, by Jan Burkins and Kari Yates, is a highly anticipated, evidence-based resource for teachers of early readers. The authors unpack vital pieces of reading instruction and offer ways teachers can incorporate small, research-informed shifts in their practice to align with how children learn to read. School teams are invited to form book study groups to dig into Shifting the Balance. One teacher from your school will commit to virtually attend monthly district book study sessions to unpack chapter content and leave equipped to facilitate the school-based book club. Please connect HERE for additional information and to express your team's interest.
