I am going to try it this year. I teach 4th grade and it breaks my heart to see kids who look at reading as a chore (including my own 10 year old son). I think it I not only tell them but show them how reaing has changed my life, it will get them thinking and more importantly reading!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-11812926845730977132011-06-28T07:16:54.636-05:002011-06-28T07:16:54.636-05:00You did an amazing job!!

It's from page 12 where Miller writes about avid readers who are compliant enough to do her unit activities then rush up to her and say:<br />"I'm done with my work; may I read my book now?"<br /><br />I've had that exact experience with my students. They always have an self-selected independent book going no matter what else they are doing in reading class. I watched as my students completed their reading "work" and then settled in with "their book." Their words and body language told me that their self-selected book was what they valued most during reading.<br /><br />I read the Book Whisperer last summer and am now rereading it so I can discuss it with all you bloggers!J.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110650176149720439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-71196471028981002212011-06-27T19:28:17.598-05:002011-06-27T19:28:17.598-05:00Great Start!
