Do I Really Have to Teach Reading?: Content Comprehension, Grades 6-12

Summary: the better of Tovani's books...
Review: As an English teacher, I didn't think Tovani provided enough usable strategies in "I read it, but I don't get it", though I can understand how reading teachers or those teaching language arts at the middle school level could appreciate it. "Do I have to teaching Reading" is much better: there's more graphic organizers, more lesson ideas and more discussion of the actual teaching of reading. In a great many ways, this is a revised, streamlined and updated version of her first book; if you are considering "I Read it", buy this book instead, since it covers almost everything she talked about there with more. I do want to plead with the author and publisher, however, that when you make the appendices for future books, that you include blanks of every figure shown in the book...there were several charts and such that I would have loved to have a clean copy of.
