The Book Whisperer

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last wrote a post. Hopefully, as the year progresses I will get more done on this site.

My school will be doing a book study this summer and the upper grades will be reading The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller. Several teachers, including myself, have already starting reading this book. I love it. She is a huge advocate of free reading and that you can increase a child's test scores without doing worksheets. I am so thrilled that many teachers on my campus will finally realize that true reading is the best way to teach reading. I am currently working with two teachers who will be using this technique next school year. I think exciting things are about to happen at my school and I can't wait to be part of it!!
