Publishers Description: Turn any student into a bookworm with a few easy and practical strategies Donalyn Miller says she has yet to meet a child she cant turn into a reader. No matter how far behind Millers students might be when they reach her 6th grade classroom, they end up reading an average of 40 to 50 books a year. Millers unconventional approach dispenses with drills and worksheets that make reading a chore. Instead, she helps students navigate the world of literature and gives them time to read books they pick out themselves. Her love of books and teaching is both infectious and inspiring. In the book, youll find: Hands-on strategies for managing and improving your own school library Tactics for helping students walk on their own two feet and continue the reading habit after theyve finished with your class Data from student surveys and end-of-year feedback that proves how well the Miller Method works The Book Whisperer includes a dynamite list of recommended "kid lit" that helps parents and teachers find the books that students really like to read.
