Overview
How can we teach essential literacy concepts through authentic, meaningful interactions with texts? This timely resource answers this question directly, helping teachers become text-wise and intentional in their instruction. Authors Robin Bright and Gina Wong present a framework with multiple, purposeful encounters with rich texts—across days, weeks, or even months, each time with a specific instructional focus. The Text-Wise Framework is an evidence-based instructional routine and one that supports key concepts such as oral language, vocabulary, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, growing comprehension and knowledge building, while making the most of every shared reading experience.
Featuring a curated selection of picture books based on popular, commonly used K–3 classroom themes such as friendship, creativity and imagination, peace, nature, Indigenous perspectives, and more—all organized in an accessible A-to-Z format.
