 A key resource for secondary or high school teachers July 4, 2008
Tovani has produced a concise and practical resource for literacy development in high schools. Full of practical ideas based on current knowledge about how we learn, the book is useful to teachers in all subject areas. I have used this book in my work as a school administrator, and now it is a basic textbook in our university secondary teacher education program.
Any Teacher Can Benefit From This June 27, 2008
I found that by reading this book, not only did I learn strategies for teaching reading to my students but I also learned how to improve my own reading. The books tells us to remind the kids that even though they arent the best readers, they still have time to be.
This book is a quick read and you are bound to get a greater understanding of how to create a classroom climate that is safe, and provides a place for children to be honest about their learning, confusion and understanding on a text. Reading this boook has given me several lesson plans that will help me teach my students this upcoming year and I feel well-prepared!
 inspiring June 16, 2008
It's a good book if you are looking for inspiration. Tovani discusses her experience in trying to promote reading in all classrooms. However, I feel that it is more reminiscient than a tool for instruction, although she does offer suggestions to use in the classroom at the end of her chapters.
 Actually not a bad book June 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Generally I'm fairly critical of this type of educational material, but Tovani's book is actually not bad. She offers some pretty useful techniques to help struggling readers at the high school level, and breaks down the strategies to target specific needs. The only thing that turned me off a little was that many of her stories of actual classroom experience seem fabricated. Take, for example, the story she tells of the student who asked "who is Virgil?" after they had been reading the Inferno in class for weeks and the student in question had already finished 3/4 of the book. Seems a little unbelievable, and might cast some doubt on the validity of the work. But these instances aside, I feel the book could be helpful to teachers of struggling readers.
Must have! May 31, 2008
This book is a must read for all middle school and high school teachers. Provides quick, effective strategies for working with struggling readers.
