Coming to EL in November: The Early Grades
The next issue of Educational Leadership will examine what the youngest learners in our schools need to get a great start. Authors will share strategies and research for supporting students in Grades K–3—especially in this time when much learning still needs to happen remotely and families face unusual pressures. Featured authors include Nell Duke (on aspects of early reading instruction), Justin Minkel (on being there for worried children), Lee Ann Jung, Alexs Pates, and Wendy Ostroff.
