Customer Reviews

Great Teacher Resource!

This is a great book! I am a reading specialist and I shared it with the teachers at my school and they all loved it. It is an easy, quick read with practical suggestions. A must have!!!

reading workshops

I found this book very helpful as I created reading lesson plans for ESL students.

A wonderful resource

This book is a great introduction and overview to reading workshop. It gives minilesson ideas as well as books to use for minilessons. It also explains the components of reading workshop clearly and gives resources to copy and use in the classroom.

Quick, user-friendly, and thorough

One of THE most helpful books I've ever read regarding reader's workshop. I have used (and shared) this techniques over and over with my students & colleagues. I can't imagine my reader's workshop without this resource! You shouldn't either. It's worth the $15 and then some!! (Also just saw these same ladies came out with one on writer's workshop, can't wait to read that!)

A great resource - teacher friendly

This beats reading the 2-inch thick Fountas and Pinell "Guiding readers and writers." This book took the most important information of a readers' workshop and put them in a quick and easy "how-to" format. The book was a quick read over the summer and I have a lot more confidence in what I am doing in the classroom. The teacher tips are especially helpful.
