I loved this book because it gave ideas of how to the reading process visible through read alouds, anchor charts, and ways to record characters and events. This book is full of pictures of activities that teachers can use with primary age kids. She also touches on how to organize the library and how to teach students to know if the book is at their reading level.

Particularly helpful was the lesson on the difference between fiction and non-fiction. The venn diagram can be used , students put into groups and discuss the reasons for why they think the way they do, very successful at stimulating conversation and thinking.

Although this book is written with primary classrooms in mind, it is an excellent resource for strategy instruction for upper elementary classes as well. ( )

This book takes you through an exciting school year in Debbie Miller’s first grade classroom. Teaching with Meaning focuses on developing comprehension strategies to use with students. Contained in the book are specific lessons and suggested readings to engage students in meaningful activities to help students: make connections, infer, ask questions, create mental images and synthesize. This book is a wonderful resource to get students interested and excited about reading!

Book description
If you have ever wondered how to teach comprehension strategies to primary-age children, read on. First, imagine a primary-grade classroom where all the children are engaged and motivated; where the buzz of excited, emerging readers fills the air; where simultaneously words are sounded out and connections are made between the books of their choice and the experiences of their lives. Then, open these pages. Welcome to Debbie Miller's real classroom where real students are learning to love to read, to write, and are together creating a collaborative and caring environment. In this book, Debbie focuses on how best to teach children strategies for comprehending text. She leads the reader through the course of a year showing how her students learn to become thoughtful, independent, and strategic readers. Through explicit instruction, modeling, classroom discussion, and, most important, by gradually releasing responsibility to her students, Debbie provides a model for creating a climate and culture of thinking and learning. Here you will learn techniques for modeling thinking; specific examples of modeled strategy lessons for inferring, asking questions, making connections, determining importance in text, creating mental images, and synthesizing information; how to help children make their thinking visible through oral, written, artistic, and dramatic responses to literature; how to successfully develop book clubs as a way for children to share their thinking. Reading with Meaning shows you how to bring your imagined classroom to life. You will emerge with new tools for teaching comprehension strategies and a firm appreciation that a rigorous classroom can also be nurturing and joyful.
