From the publisher

In this era of YouTube and quick-clock information gathering, novice and veteran teachers benefit from succinct, visual 'show me to teach me' professional development. To answer this need, I developed Lessons from the Ground Up. Sharon Taberski

With the same clarity and accessibility as the classic On Solid Ground and Comprehension from the Ground Up, Sharon Taberski shares her latest thinking on how to use a variety of reading, writing, and talking experiences to help young students grow to be fluent readers. 105-minutes of succinct video clips of whole-class lessons, small-group instruction, and one-on-one conferences help teachers see that improving student's comprehension happens in the course of excellent reading and writing instruction and that strategy instruction should play a supporting role-not a starring role-in children's reading development.

To help facilitate staff-development sessions, the 64-page facilitator's guide contains:

Session Plans that provide an organizing structure for your work with teachers divided into three parts: Access Knowledge, Develop Knowledge, and Synthesize Knowledge.
Strand Overview handouts highlight key points of the strand and are more detailed than video overviews.
Lesson in Action handouts provide a brief description of the lesson, the lesson focus, and highlight key student reading behaviors and teaching strategies.
Noticing, Thinking, and Wondering handouts focus teachers' video-viewing experience.

About the author

Sharon Taberski is a nationally recognized educator, author, and presenter. A teacher for 28 years, Sharon currently works in school districts throughout the country helping teachers set up reading and writing workshops, and think systematically about how to best accomplish their goals. She also presents keynotes and seminars throughout the US and Canada. Sharon has been a member of NCTE's editorial board, and has served on the development committee for the Primary Literacy Standards (more commonly known as New Standards) by the National Center on Education and the Economy. In her latest work, Comprehension from the Ground Up, Sharon cuts through the pressurized, strategy-overloaded, fluency-crazed atmosphere surrounding reading instruction to lay out reading and workshop practices that are most effective in the primary grades. The companion DVD, Lessons from the Ground Up, shows Sharon in the classroom, modeling effective ways to develop comprehension in real-life classroom settings through exemplary teaching techniques and is perfect for your workshop or PLC. Sharon is also the author of It's ALL About Comprehension, Teaching K-3 Readers from the Ground Up, a DVD set for long-term staff development that shows how to teach children through rich, varied, comprehension-building experiences through the literacy block. Sharon is also the author of On Solid Ground: Strategies for Teaching Reading K-3, and the video series A Close-Up Look at Teaching Reading: Focusing on Children and Our Goals.
