Take the guesswork out of blending reading instruction best practices.

Jan Burkins and Kari Yates have immersed themselves in the research on the "Science of Reading" to produce a concise, practical guide that integrates effective reading strategies. Every chapter focuses on one of the six simple and scientifically sound shifts reading teachers can make to strengthen their approach to early reading instruction. This comprehensive guide has sold more than 100,000 copies and is an Amazon #1 in Elementary Education.

How the science of reading informs teaching.

​Recent research has brought giant leaps in understanding of how the brain works. In Brain Words, J. Richard Gentry and Gene Ouellette share their original, research-based framework of “brain words”—dictionaries in the brain where students store and automatically access sounds, spellings, and meaning. This book fills the gap between the science of reading and classroom instruction by providing up-to-date knowledge about reading and neurological circuitry, including evidence that spelling is at the core of the reading brain. More than 100,000 copies sold.

Early Childhood Math Routine

One of the challenges facing early childhood teachers is how to meet academic standards while creating learning environments

that honor young children’s mathematical curiosity. Teaching coach Toni Cameron introduces a set of short whole-group and partner routines designed to help teachers engage young children in meaningful math thinking and build problem-solving communities. She reimagines traditional math routines and introduces new routines that focus on the key mathematical ideas of early childhood.
