The way schools engage with literacy skills leaves an enormous gap between what students are confident in, and what real life will expect from them. Lapp, Grant, and Thayre want to eliminate this learning curve by expanding the narrow range of communication skills we empower students to become experts in. Using what you know about teaching language selection, tone, voice, audience, organization, and style, this guide will help you to broaden your students exposure and deepen their insights through sample lessons, rubrics, outlines, and activities for every grade level.
