Great resource for anyone wanting to implement literacy strategies in any content!
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016
Verified Purchase

The Core Six is a user-friendly easy read designed for any teacher looking to boost their literacy instruction. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the author's direct, no nonsense approach to writing. The Core Six are concisely explained; research supporting each strategy is given and easy to follow implementation steps/phases are outlined. A teacher with any level of experience could implement these ideas into their lesson plans today.
I am a seasoned middle school math teacher with 18 years of experience in public school classes. I found the strategies to be absolutely applicable to any teaching situation - regular education, students with specific learning disabilities and/or the gifted student. The strategies in this book will help facilitate that deeper understanding of the standards no matter what the content.
My favorite quote comes from the summary where the author writes, "When teachers learn a manageable number of strategies, and when these strategies are commonly named and defined, teachers can have substantive conversations just by comparing notes." This is exactly the kind of framework that teachers can use to begin professional learning communities or that can strengthen already existing ones. This book is a must-have for every PLC in our schools.

Concise and practical advice
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2012

This short book contains concise and practical advice for teachers of other content areas to integrate reading and writing strategies into their practice. As a science teacher, I can immediately see ways to apply these strategies, with the help of its clear, cookbook style approach and its examples from various subjects. I also appreciated the authors providing references for the research basis of each approach and for further exploration.

Well worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2013
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
As a veteran teacher, I found this book to be very helpful in seeing how specific strategies I've been using align to the Common Core PLUS it adds some extended thinking concepts to fully exempify how these strategies (like Compare and Contrast, for example) can be tweaked to fully fulfill what the Common Core is trying to do. I will use it as a foundation in revamping my syllabus for the coming year.
This would be great for a new teacher to use these strategies properly from the very beginning. I highly recommend this book -- something I've rarely done in my 25+ years of teaching!

Finally!
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
You need this book if you are a teacher going through the transfer from state to common core standards. Instead of sifting through huge binders of paperwork, read this book to find the strategies that actually work, how to use them, and what is really important when it comes to teaching the most important material. Based on research from 1000's of teachers, this book will break down six separate strategies, give sample lesson plans, and explain in a nutshell, why you should use each strategy and how to implement it. As a 5/6th grade teacher it has already come in handy and we are just getting started this school year.

Great Resource!

I was introduced to this book at a CEA training and brought it back to my school to lead a book study involving teachers from K-12th grade. Everyone found it extremely useful and was able to implement suggestions and ideas from the text almost immediately. If you're still working on implementing CCSS in your school I highly recommend using this quick and easy text to jump start your implementation with great strategies and ideas.

This book is a handy resource for teachers looking for quick ways to implement the most important research-based strategies. Is easy to use, easy to understand, but most importantly--it works for students and enhances learning. A lot of bang for your buck here. Not a wasted word or wasted page in the text.
