Every book, blog, or tweet about reading in our classrooms has its roots in Nancies work. With eloquence, Nancie and Anne continue to show the commitment, the joy, and the intellectual energy students bring to, and take from, reading when offered choice." --Linda Rief, Middle School English teacher and author of "Read, Write, Teach" Provided via Amazon Vine"Excellent approach to reading strategies especially for children between 5 and 10. They also have ideas for older kids, but the main focus would be elementary, especially around 3rd grade, which is the most important grade when it comes to reading. This is a great text for educators and parents alike. Id suggest you reading it!" --Benjamin Provided via Amazon Vine"For those of us who think schools have been culpable in killing young readers, The Reading Zone is an essential resource. Nancie Atwell and Anne Atwell Merkel offer a clear, concise blueprint to building reading lives that last: surround students with good books; give them choice; give them time to read; and stop drowning them in silly worksheets and quizzes. If we are serious about inspiring young readers, our first step is to have every teacher, administrator, and school board member read this book." --Kelly Gallagher, High School English Teacher and author of "In the Best Interest of Students" Provided via Amazon Vine"Nancy Atwell has long been on top of the reading instruction world. I remember studying her in school over ten years ago. The Reading Zone continues her work in reading instruction and focuses on specific techniques primarily for primary schools. Focusing on independent reading, Atwell fights to include time for students to just sit down and read. Included are parent letters with arguments for why this quiet reading time is essential for students of all ages. On top of that, there are strategies, especially with questioning and inferring that help to focus the young reader on staying involved in the literature that they are reading. Not only does Atwell help to guide a student into the reading zone, but also makes a strong case for leaving them alone once you find them immersed in a book that they love." --Jennifer Miller Provided via Amazon Vine"Over and over, Nancie and Anne make us believe that they literally couldnt survive without books. They read insatiably and share their love of books with their students. And those lucky kids catch their passion for a lifetime of reading. Run, dont walk, to grab this book. Take the plunge, dive in deep. You will be happy you did." --Steph Harvey, Literacy Consultant, co-author of "Strategies That Work" Provided via Amazon Vine Review Quote The new edition of The Reading Zone does not just celebrate the joy of independent reading in our classrooms; it is a no holds barred, knock-down-drag-out, hugely effective takedown of any argument to the contrary, full of examples and explanations of classroom practices, questioning guides, charts, parents letters, and more. You leave the pages feeling a sense of urgency and the faith that you absolutely can make reading possible for all students. Nancie and Annes impassioned, well-researched, and practical new edition should be required reading for every educator, school board member, and parent--our children need us to throw politics and personalities aside and create this kind of lasting change. --Christopher Lehman, Founding Director, The Educator Collaborative, consultant, author Details ISBN0545948746 Author Anne Atwell Merkel Short Title READING ZONE 2ND /E Pages 160 Audience Age 5-13 Language English ISBN-10 0545948746 ISBN-13 9780545948746 Format Paperback DEWEY 372.4 Illustrations Yes Edition 2nd Subtitle How to Help Kids Become Passionate, Skilled, Habitual, Critical Readers Series Scholastic Professional Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2021-09-02 NZ Release Date 2021-09-02 US Release Date 2021-09-02 UK Release Date 2021-09-02 Publisher Scholastic US Edition Description 2nd edition Year 2021 Publication Date 2021-09-02 Imprint Scholastic US Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
