The Literacy Quick Guide provides a concise description of a coherent literacy system in which all instructional contexts are reciprocally connected to improve student outcomes. This information packed guide provides an important look at reading, writing, talking, and word study, while succinctly describing research-based instructional practices for high-impact literacy teaching. This first-of-its-kind, practical, spiral-bound tool for all teachers and administrators is another significant contribution to the field of education from literacy leaders Irene C. Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell.
