I am a huge fan of Tony's work. His previous books,Reality Checks and Is that a Fact? are must-haves for classroom and content teachers. His new book, Good Choice! does not disappoint.
Tony tackles in very straight forward and practical ways the challenge of making independent reading as productive and powerful as the time students spend with us with conversations about:
- Making Time for Independent Reading
- Organizing and Selecting Materials
- "Training" students to manage themselves
- Conferencing
- And yes…even assessment is made easy with Tony's tips!
There are wonderful resources and booklists included as well. Check out the free preview at the Stenhouse Blog (s great blog to add to your reader) or ask Santa for your very own copy-this is one you will want to mark up!
