Exceed the standards by aligning your state standards with such research-proven best practices as the read aloud, shared and guided reading and writing, reading and writing workshop, literature circles, directed reading and thinking activity, language experience, and reader's theater! Each instructional strategy benefits children at specific stages of development in reading and writing: beginning, early, advanced early, and independent. Moustafa carefully aligns the best practice to teach each standard requirement across a K-5 spectrum.
