Helpful!

This book was very helpful as I switched to a literature cirlces format in my classroom. It is written in a clear, enjoyable voice. I appreciated reading about the author's journey from traditional teaching to lit groups. There are practical suggestions for setting up groups, keeping track of books, using thematic sets, assessment and much more. Check out another book by her, Theme Studies. I used them together this year to set up my 5th grade reading and science/social studies programs. I'm glad I found them.
