The Book Whisperer


I read this book at the beginning of the school year but never took the time to post anything about it because the beginning of the year is CRAZY! hahahahahaha But let me say that I LOVED this book! It had so many great ideas for helping EACH and EVERY student in the class read! I really liked the idea of conferencing one on one with kids and giving the opportunity to talk to ME about what they are reading and what they like and think about books. I'd love to just have my students read books and none of the silly basal selections but we have to do those. So I am working to do more of the novels and self-selected reading in addition to the basal textbook. I am trying to have more conversations in my classroom about what they are reading and the books they are choosing and it is working! My kids are reading MORE and enjoying it more! GREAT BOOK for ALL teachers!!!!!!
