✦ Synopsis

Meeting a tremendous need for K–8 schools and educators, this timely book outlines core principles for counteracting the disruptions of the pandemic and recovering from learning loss. The authors present a holistic approach to responsive literacy instruction to support all students’ academic and social–emotional growth, now and in the years to come. Fundamental areas of learning recovery are addressed--developing schoolwide action plans, partnering with families and communities, building collaborative literacy leadership, assessing for differentiated instruction, planning targeted interventions, and implementing supplemental learning programs. Every chapter includes relevant research findings, clear examples of principles in action, and reflection questions that help educators apply the concepts they have learned.
