So...here is the confession! I am a teacher book junkie! I always feel like I am one book away from having all the answers. Consequently... I have a ton!
This is a book I bought 5 or 6 years ago. I used it as part of our school wide professional development training when I was our district's literacy coach. This is one of those awesome resources that I return to again and again. It keeps me grounded in what my small groups should look like AND it is so practical... Love! It!
I have become a little stalker when it comes to Matt Glover and Katie Wood Ray. Seriously, I saw Matt (as I like to call him) at a conference a few months back and after talking to me, I am pretty sure he was looking for security.
I just finished this book. Super easy quick read that validated some of my own beliefs and stretched my thinking!
I have these two books. I have skimmed them before, but I want to sit down (highlighter and all) and dive in!
What do you have on your nightstand to read?... professional books I mean...Ha!

I want to dig back into "Reading With Meaning" by Debbie Miller. My report card includes a grade for demonstrating comprehension. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi sweet friend! I have that book on my "Re-read List" too!!!!
