by Gail Boushey, Joan Moser

Description
Teachers are learners too, and for the past ten years, Gail Boushey and Allison Behne work with hundreds of teachers and students nationwide, gaining insight into best practices for reading instruction. Using those insights, they developed The CAFE Book, Expanded Second Edition: Engaging All Students in Daily Literacy Assessment and Instruction to help teachers apply what their research has shown--that reading instruction is not about the setting, the basal, or the book level. Rather, show more effective reading instruction is based on what that student needs in that moment. With the release of The CAFE Book in 2009, the CAFE system has been implemented in classrooms all over the world. It has changed the way teachers assess, teach, and track student information, and positively impacted the way students learn, practice, and talk about reading. The CAFE Book, Expanded Second Edition gives you a variety of tools to structure your literacy block and create an environment where your students are engaged readers and writers with resources that set them up for success. This CAFE system is all you need to support, guide, and coach your students toward the strategies that will move them forward. -- Provided by publisher. show lessTags

Another quite excellent how-to from Boushey & Moser. Research based, and tried and true. (But not a magic bullet)
This book is written by 2 sisters who are primary teachers. Through years of teaching, experience and their own education and observations they have provided a guide to help those who teach reading how to do it better and smarter. Their method concentrates on Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency and vocabulary. This is a smart book to help teachers teach better. Highly recommended!
This CAFE book is a great resource for getting your CAFE program off the ground. This is an awesome concept and really seems to work!
A must read for elementary teachers!

Review
"In The CAFE Book, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser present a practical, simple way to integrate assessment into daily reading and classroom discussion. The CAFE system, based on research into the habits of proficient readers, is an acronym for Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding vocabulary. The system includes goal-setting with students in individual conferences, posting of goals on a whole-class board, developing small-group instruction based on clusters of students with similar goals, and targeting whole-class instruction based on emerging student needs."--Pub. desc.
