Stephanie over at Teaching in Room 6 is having a linky party. What book is your "go to" teacher book?It was somewhat difficult to pick just one, but I think it would have to be Reading With Meaning by Debbie Miller--This book is amazing and changed the way I taught reading. Reading it doesn't feel like a text book, nor does it give you step by step curriculum. She is quite the inspiring lady.
Two books that are not so specific with instruction topics, but have been instrumental in how I talk to kids are The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller and Learning to Trust by Marilyn Watson.Laurie
I'll have to look into these three books. Thanks for sharing.

My Reading with Meaning is so dogeared, pages are falling out of it, it's a mess but well loved. Have you ever seen the video series to go along with that book? Oh my gosh, our school district has them for teachers to check out. I spent one whole weekend drooling over Debbie Miller and her teaching. {That and her adorable classroom}
ReplyDeleteThe teachers in my building are reading The Book Whisperer right now in book club. Can't wait to start reading. I've heard a lot of people talk abou how it has changed them as a teacher. Love the prospects of that!!!!

I love Debbie Miller's book. It's less than two feet away from me as we speak. I've got "The Book Whisperer" too, but I haven't read it yet. Looks like a great read. (I'm you're newest follower!)

ReplyDeleteI have seen the videos. I love them and it really helps make her book credible, because you see it happening.
So glad I found your blog today! Reading with Meaning and The Book Whisperer are two of my favorites! :) I also LOVE how you had the best 2nd grade teacher ever, me too! That's how I became one :) I can tell we have a lot in common and look forward to reading more of your great ideas and suggestions :) Have a happy Sunday!
