Today's teachers are continually looking for resources to help support their literacy instruction in an engaging and effective way while also saving precious instructional hours and planning time. In Shining a Light on Short Texts, authors Julie Wright and Elizabeth Keim invite readers into the world of short texts and all they have to offer.

Part background information and part direct implementation, this treasure trove of resources introduces readers to a collection of short text types (from poems to comic strips to short stories to excerpts from trade books to infographics, and more) while showing them why this type of text can be so impactful, where to locate a variety of short texts, and how to plan instruction using them to meet students’ needs.
