Rating: - Making Children Thoughtful Readers Is So Important
Teaching young children to think and especially think about what they read is so important. Too often children read words with no idea about what they are reading. As a teacher I constantly use children's literature to teach comprehension. Two of my favorites are:Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success and The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tailwhich not only have fabulous messages but a great teaching guide. I recommend these very highly to my parents because of these guides. ... Read More
Rating: - Powerful
Debbie Miller's disarming writing style makes you feel as if you're dialoguing with her about teaching reading in an elementary setting - the book nearly vanishes and there you are, sipping a cup of coffee and listening to Miller respond (patiently!) to your myriad questions. Throughout the text she takes the reader with her, through teaching hiccups and tough lessons learned, and anticipates every question you have. It's easy to see she's a realistic idealist, someone who has high expectations but ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful resource
This is a great book for any teacher to have. I work as a special ed teacher, so I work with one or two students at a time.

Rating: - FABULOUS!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this book. It is easy to follow, has great pictures and really shows the author's thinking process behind why she does what she does. I have read and reread this book, tabbed it to death, and bring it with me to school every day. I used all the strategies last year with very minimal tweaking and had phenomonal results in the "thinking about reading" strategies of my 2nd/3rd grade students.
Rating: - Reading With Meaning
This book is an excellent to help new or veteran teachers add some spice to their reading lessons. Debbie Miller not only models many of her lesson topics but also gives suggested book titles for you to help make the lesson 'your own'. I would reccommend this book to anyone who teaches reading. The skills focused on in this book are superb lessons that all readers should know how to do!
