Reading With Meaning: Teaching Comprehension in the Primary Grades

Rating:
Summary: A must-read for primary teachers...
Review: This is an excellent companion book to Mosaic of Thought by Ellin Keene and Susan Zimmerman. Debbie Miller's awareness of her students' needs and abilities, and her respect for them, are clear in the language she uses when talking to and about them. Especially helpful were the text use examples and the mini-bibliographies at the end of each section. If there is an e-mail ring out there for people using the ideas in Mosaic or this book, I'd love to know how to participate-please let me know in a review like this where to log on. I'm sure others would like to know, too! If you ever have to opportunity to hear Debbie Miller speak, SEIZE IT! You'll love the magic that happens in your classroom when you try out the comprehension strategies!
