To read their deep thinking and practical applications to Concept-Based Lesson Design, is to realize the critical nature of each students conceptual understanding and ability to transfer. This book, as well as Dr. Lannings earlier book (2013) on Designing Concept-Based Curriculum for English Language Arts, are cutting-edge. Literacy is not a decontextualized drill of skills or learning just about "a book." You will highlight, ponder, and tab as you read about the design of Concept-Based Literacy Lessons. You will feel the excitement of this intellectual and engaging approach to teaching and learning. You will create your own exciting lesson plans and will know this is the holistic literacy approach you have been searching for. All students deserve the best literacy instruction—and this IS the BEST. -- H. Lynn Erickson"How do we create thinking classrooms and put theory into action? Templates to build lessons, rubrics to guide our thinking, and examples upon examples are used to help us transform rather than replace what we say and do in our classrooms. This is the how to book that will be the treasured resource for 21st century educators." -- Connie WalserMoving Literacy Beyond Skills to Understanding and Transfer is a user-friendly text that invites deeper thinking. Even though I lack familiarity with Concept-Based Curriculum, it provided ample explanation and support and made me to want to know more. This is definitely a title I will suggest to our Reading Coach and ELA faculty. -- Melissa A. Campbell, 4th Grade Classroom Teacher, Williams Avenue Elementary School, Fort Payne, ALThis is an excellent book for teachers of all levels of experience. Each time I felt a bit of confusion about how I would incorporate this into my teaching there was an example or story that helped me. These moments are strategically placed to help teachers understand that they can do this type of work, it just requires a shift in thinking. I would like to use this to help teachers create lessons to foster understanding and transfer. -- Barbara Smith, Reading Teacher 3-6, Cutchogue East Elementary School, Cutchogue, NYMoving Literacy delivers what it promises. The easy- to- read chapters lead the teacher from the excitement of understanding Concept-Based Curriculum back to the classroom with concrete examples and tools to design concept-based lessons. Its the all-too-often skipped step in creating meaningful change. -- Kathleen Swift, High School English Teacher, Newtown High School, Sandy Hook, CTThis is a fantastic resource for teachers eager to learn how to incorporate concept-based learning in their literacy classrooms. By providing a clear unit framework, a wealth of concrete examples of lessons, engaging activities, and coaching tips to apply to your own planning, this book enables you to add a new dimension to your instruction while still maintaining ownership of your own teaching. -- Caity Lehman, Grade 5-7 English Subject Coordinator, Colegio Anglo Colombiano, Bogotá, ColombiaIt is well understood that both achievement and income gaps largely disappear between racial groups when factoring in literacy level. We know that our schools must be producing careful thinkers, close readers, and concise writers in order to address the equity issues in our country. But, we have not found a way to translate this understanding into the daily learning experiences of our children...until now. Concept-based Literacy Lessons finally provides teachers with the fundamental learning design and array of strategies that are necessary to help each and every child develop critical literacy skills and understandings. Moving beyond proficiency on standardized literacy assessments, students educated based on the elements of this book will learn to how to leverage their voices, written and oral, in support of their own big ideas. They will understand the true power of being truly literate! -- K. C. KnudsonThe growing consensus among educators of the need for deeper learning and more meaningful lesson design has sparked much in the way of instructional theory and comparatively little in the way of practical instructional support. Lanning and Brown shift the focus to how––this book offers teachers a timely and straightforward approach to the design of dynamic learning experiences that support learning transfer, investigation, and meaning creation. -- Joanne McEachen and Matt KaneConcept-Based Literacy Lessons: Designing Learning to Ignite Understanding and Transfer Grades 4-10 provides us first hand experiences in developing and teaching effective Concept-Based units and lessons. Lois and Tiffanee have created this brilliant pathway that incorporates model lessons and scaffolds to effectively support educators in getting to the practicality of "what does this looks like on a daily basis?", while allowing for teachers creativity, passions and expertise to be honored. This book is like the "users guide" to Concept-Based, and will lead you step by step to create rich, deep learning experiences that engage our students hearts and minds. -- Mischelle DarraghWhere other resources on the market focus on theory alone, Dr. Lois Lanning and Tiffanee Browns newest book provides teachers with a practical approach to guide literacy lesson design. Co-authors Lanning and Brown emphasize the critical importance of a Concept-Based classroom that blends both inquiry and explicit skill instruction so that students learn to transfer their ideas across content areas.
