Overview

In this much anticipated follow-up to their groundbreaking book, Shifting the Balance: 6 Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Balanced Literacy Classroom, authors Jan Burkins and Kari Yates, together with co-author Katie Cunningham, extend the conversation in Shifting the Balance 3-5: 6 Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Upper Elementary Classroom. This new text is built in mind specifically for grades 3-5 teachers around best practices for the intermediate classroom.

Shifting the Balance 3-5 introduces six more shifts across individual chapters that:

  • Zoom in on a common (but not-as helpful-as-we-had-hoped) practice to reconsider
  • Untangle a number of "misunderstandings" that have likely contributed to the use of the common practice
  • Propose a more science-aligned shift to the current practice
  • Provide solid scientific research to support the revised practice
  • Offer a collection of high-leverage, easy-to-implement instructional routines to support the shift to more brain-friendly instruction
The authors offer a refreshing approach that is respectful, accessible, and practical - grounded in an earnest commitment to building a bridge between research and classroom practice. As with the first Shifting the Balance, they aim to keep students at the forefront of reading instruction.
