"No stone was left unturned in this textAll the best researchers and practitioners are included in this clear, succinct guide which unpacks the Standards and gives outstanding suggestions for best literacy practice. Each anchor standard in all five domains is fully explained with practical, engaging activities that can add fun and learning to any classroom. Readers will feel supported and energized for the challenges ahead, with a toolkit for meeting the needs of all learners." -- Elizabeth Gennosa, English/AIS Teacher
"Here′s a resource that will make your teaching life easier and support those learners in your classroom who worry you the most. This book is full of great strategies based on research and aligned with the Common Core. Strategies at your fingertips to provide you with less stress and worry, plus you will have students who are meeting with success." -- Dolores Hennessy, Reading Specialist
"This book provides timely, practical assistance for addressing the needs of our unique learners during this time of rigorous standards-based instruction. One can use these samples and ideas immediately in his/her K-5 classroom!" -- Catherine Alaimo Stickney, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
"Here′s a book that can help teachers and administrators alike to meet the pressing need we all have to increase our repertoire of practical, research-supported strategies, if we are to enable all learners to meet the challenging requirements embedded in the new Common Core Standards. Dove and Honigsfeld′s book is timely and immensely user friendly. We will absolutely not be able to "do" the Common Core on our own; Common Core for the Not-So-Common Learner, Grades K-5 will serve us well as a partner in enhancing our professional practice in ways that will support all of our students, not just those who have been targeted as high needs." -- Joan Daly-Lewis, President
"Andrea and Maria have the unique gift of interpreting the research and translating into action for teachers. In this book, they outline in easy to understand language the instructional practices teachers need to engage in when implementing the Common Core with the ′not so common learners′. They have taken Collaboration to a new level of understanding for teachers who teach the ′not so common learner′ and who want to take their English Learners to high levels of critical thinking and language development in the implementation of the Common Core." -- Maria Montalvo-Balbed, Program Director for ELL Programs
"The strength of this book is in its organization. It not only addresses the key shifts of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy, but is organized to the level of the anchor standards, which are further broken down into strand-specific sets. It doesn’t just talk about the Standards, but rather offers essential solutions to K-5 teachers on how to achieve them with diverse learners. Finally, a how-to book that is worth its weight in gold!" -- Susan Lafond, NBCT, ESL teacher, Advocate
"Though this book focuses on implementing the CORE standards with diverse learners, it really extends beyond to promote a schoolwide ′growth mindset′ for an inclusive and collaborative service delivery model - a model which sees ELLs and other at-risk learners for what they can do with instructional support. This is a very practical handbook for elementary teachers and schools." -- Virginia P. Rojas, ASCD Faculty
"If you want to know how to help the diverse learners in your classroom meet the Common Core Standards, Common Core for the Not-So-Common Learner is a must-read book." -- Judie Haynes, co-author of The Essential Guide for Educating Beginning English Learners
