Books by Leslie A. Blauman

Standards-based learning just got a lot easierThis new version of The Common Core Companion provides an index for all states implementing state-specific ELA standards. This index allows you to see in an instant which of your standards are the same as CCSS, which differ and how—and which page number to turn to for standards-based teaching ideas. Beyond that? It’s the same great go-to guide for implementing the standards, translating each and every standard for reading, writing, speaking and listening, language, and foundational skills into the day-to-day “what you do.”

For Evidence-Based Writing: Fiction, renowned teacher Leslie Blauman combed the standards and her classroom bookshelves to craft lessons that make writing about reading a clear, concrete process.

Whether annotating a text, writing a paragraph, an essay, or response on a test, students will know how to support their thinking after reading this book.

This book explains what the standards say, what they mean, and how to teach them, all organised by the Anchor Standards.
