Summary: Fantastic Source for Choosing and Using Nonfiction
Review: I have these authors' earlier books on selecting nonfiction, which are terrific. But this one is better because it not only gives guidelines for making wise choices, but also offers lots of good, practical ideas for using your choices to teach reading, writing, and content-area subjects. The ideas can be used in whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one instruction. Plus, there's a clear opening section on the underlying principles behind the ideas. These authors know what they're talking about--and clearly have spent time in classrooms.
