"A highly intelligent, readable, insightful, and enjoyable piece on reading. Enlightening and pracical.
Words of Wisdom: "John Cheever once said that he wrote 'to make sense of my life.' We read, I think, for the same reason: to make sense of our lives and to connect to those who have come before us and those who now share the planet with us. We read to do our jobs, to learn, to explore, to adventure, to bring order to chaos, to open new vistas, to better understand the world around us, and to develop compassion for the human condition" (217).
"I believe now that interesting and varied interpretations of text are rarely possible without rereading small sections or the whole text" (4)."
"I enjoyed reading this. It reminded me of Cziko's Reading for Understanding. I liked the way Ellin, one of the authors, started each chapter with a text, her think aloud of it, and how this played out in the classroom. The repetitive nature of each mini-lesson was ingrained in my head. Modeling think alouds, having students read individually while conferencing with students, sharing aloud after.
I wish there were more high school examples. There is only one at the end and compared to the elementary school examples, it is rather brief and lacks details. While I enjoyed the telling of the individual mini-conferences with kids, it seemed important (necessary?) that the teacher had read the books the students were reading. Although I am a huge reader, I can't imagine having read each text my students might choose for SSR. I wonder how important that is.
Overall, a good reminder of the need to actually teach good reading strategies."
