 Teaching Comprehension Skills July 5, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Parents and teachers must encourage children to start young interacting and discussing great children's literature to develop those all important comprehension skills.Two of my favorite children stories are written by teachers and have fabulous 10-page reading guides so parents and teachers can have questions and fun activities built around the stories to develop these skills and a love of reading. They are Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success and The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail. A++++ rating.
 Disappointing July 3, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am a huge Lucy Calkins fan, so I was thrilled to buy this book, as it is written by one of her "people". This book is a very long look at Book Clubs within the reading workshop classroom. A very long, overly detailed look........
The basic gist is that heterogenous groups of students should have time throughout the school year to meet over a basket of books that are grouped for some reason and close to some of their reading levels. They should be given instruction and time to have authentic conversations and interactions with the books. While I love this idea, it is not new and not so involved that it needs an entire book devoted to this one component of reading workshop. Instead of this book, I would highly recommend Debbie Miller's Reading With Meaning. It covers this idea thoroughly, plus so much more.
