Reggio-Inspired Literacy in Primary Classrooms
Written by: Jennifer Kelly
This practical book shows teachers what Reggio-inspired experiences look like in primary classrooms. Based on extensive classroom experience, the real-life examples explore how teachers can observe children to better motivate, engage, and inspire them. Teachers will find simple ways to guide children to become effective problem solvers and build deeper learning in reading, writing, oral language, and listening. The hands-on activities revolve around topics children care about and are designed to foster skills in communication, collaboration, and finding meaning in the world around them. This mixture of theory and practical examples of Reggio-inspired practices puts the child at the centre of their learning.
Active Reading Classrooms
Written by: Jennifer Kelly
My own primary classrooms and the other classrooms I have had the privilege to be a part of over the past twenty-three years have shaped my thinking about literacy instruction and how important it is to put students and their thinking concretely at the centre of my teaching. The more classrooms I am in and the more teachers I meet, the more in awe I am of educators in this profession and their deep commitment to ongoing professional learning. My greatest hope is that my work gives teachers tools to further engage students in meaningful ways and opens up conversation among colleagues.
