Fabulous - had previously read The Book Whisperer (Donalyn Miller) and this fits nicely with what I learned from that. ( ) This book has been a turning point for veteran and beginning teachers alike. Teri makes accessible and inviting a way of living with young adult readers that helps us match texts and students and in so doing opens doors for those who see themselves as readers and those who do not. Her examples and illustrations remind all of us that teaching readers means being a reader too, and that being a teacher reader makes possible connecting students with texts that increasingly challenge and reward. no reviews | add a review
Many of us are searching continually for that just-right book for each and every one of our students. It is my hope to help you find those books. More importantly, I hope to help you guide students to the next great book and the one after that. That is the purpose of Reading Ladders. Because it is not sufficient to find just one book for each reader.-Teri Lesesne "I finished the Twilight Series-now what?" With Reading Ladders, the answer to a question like this can become the first rung on a student's climb to greater engagement with books, to full independence, and beyond to a lifetime of passionate reading. "The goal of reading ladders,"writes Teri Lesesne, "is to slowly move students from where they are to where we would like them to be."With reading ladders you start with the authors, genres, or subjects your readers like then connect them to book after book-each a little more complex or challenging than the last. Teri not only shares ready-to-go ladders, but her suggestions will help you: select books to create your own reading ladders build a classroom library that supports every student's needs use reading ladders to bolster content-area knowledge and build independence assess where students are at and how far they've climbed. "If we are about creating lifetime readers and not just readers who can utilize phonological awareness and context clues to bubble in answers on a state test,"writes Teri Lesesne, "then we need to help our students form lasting relationships with books and authors and genres and formats."Use Reading Ladders, help your students start their climb, and guide them to new heights in reading.
