Description

This book is comprised of teacher-tested activities that have been specifically designed for use with Dr. Katherine McKnight's Literacy & Learning Centers - but they can be used in any classroom. Explore sample reading lists as well as tools for reading centers, vocabulary centers, writing centers, grammar centers, and speaking & listening centers. Regardless of how you use these classroom tools, their focus is to provide students with ample opportunity to practice and develop key literacy skills. And, because content study is the ideal way to develop literacy skills, all the activities in the book are designed to work within all content areas and disciplines.

“Dr. McKnight has done it again! With her 18th book, Literacy & Learning Centers: Classroom Tools for Grades 4-12, Volume 1 she has written yet another masterpiece for classroom teachers. In her 2017 book, Literacy and Learning Centers for the Big Kids, Grades 4-12, she made the case that the utilization of learning centers toward literacy development simply works, as evidenced via her 100% success rate in achieving academic gains with her unique, centers-based approach. In this new book, she further expounds on the learning center model for teaching literacy. It’s an essential tool for any teacher of students in grades 4–12.”
Principal Baruti Kafele, Highly regarded author, speaker, urban educator and school transformer

“Katie McKnight’s work is always grounded in two things: reality and research. The way she breaks sophisticated theory and research into practical and doable steps for teachers translates into real results for students. Her flexible learning model translates into blended learning models, across grade levels, and into the practices of content area teachers. This book’s chapters are concise enough to read in one brief sitting at a time, and the examples are so concrete, they can be implemented immediately.”
Eileen Murphy, Founder & CEO of ThinkCERCA

“Thank goodness for Katie McKnight! She has added another wonderful resource to her extensive collection for teachers of struggling and reluctant adolescent readers.

Danny Brassell, Ph.D., Internationally acclaimed speaker and bestselling author

The book contains specific examples of mini-lessons that including great features such as prep time, clear instructions, and ideas for adjusting the rigor. Two big thumbs up!”
Daniel M. Argentar, Communication Arts Instructor/Literacy Coach

“Differentiation in a middle school or secondary setting is difficult. The tools and examples in this book provide the perfect guide to actually differentiate effectively. I wish this book had existed years ago!”
Brenna Sherwood, Middle School Instructional Facilitator

“Dr. Katie McKnight has really knocked it out of the park! Students deserve and need this kind of ‘hands-on and minds-on’ learning to become more independent learners. This book is an invaluable tool for time-strapped teachers with limited resources.”
Dr. Kathy Perez, Professor Emerita Saint Mary’s College of California
