The Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Continuum, Expanded Edition: A Tool for Assessment, Planning, and Teaching, PreK-8

by Irene C. Fountas, Gay Su Pinnell

There has never been a more comprehensive resource available to teachers that does what the continuum does - provide specific behaviors and understandings that are required at each level for students to demonstrate thinking within, beyond, and about the text. These behaviors and understandings describe what students will be expected to do in order to effectively read and understand the text. More in-depth, more intuitive, and more essential than ever- The Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Continuum, Expanded Edition enables teachers to construct a common vision for student achievement that effectively and efficiently engages all students in the robust, authentic and meaningful literacy learning every child deserves. The Literacy Continuum provides a way to look for specific evidence of learning from prekindergarten through grade eight, and across eight instructional contexts. Each instructional context contributes substantially, in different but complementary ways, to students' development of the literacy process. With this indispensable literacy tool, Fountas and Pinnell remind you of The Literacy Continuum's critical role in transforming literacy teaching and learning.

As an administrator I liked the preK-8th continuum

As a teacher of young children I found this resource less valuable than others

It’s limited, especially in the area of technology

Recently published, it should not only suggest appropriate apps and websites and such but include recommendations as well

I received this book as part of my course materials for a Guided Reading class I took this summer. Other people in class had the previous edition, and this one is much thicker and more in depth. This book is a great resource for minilesson ideas surrounding reading strategies and actions and has a lot to offer even if leveled readers are not being used in class. Information is very well organized and easy to navigate. My only complaint is its size! This book is massive! Lugging this book between home and school should count as a workout.
