                      The chapters  4-6 give the would be reading workshop doer a clear guide to the effective procedures, strategies for choosing the right book, reading conferences, Reading strategies and skills instruction, and the lesson plans to go with the teaching. This is all an excellent way to be a teacher of reading. All of these strategies have been around a long time. I do most of them. I have found a very effective way to make all of these strategies work in my fifth grade. I guess that is why my test scores are out front of most of the other schools in our system. I'm sure that there are always more ways two improve. I will continue to practice all of the suggestions found in the book. I know my 5th grade readers appreciate my enthusiasm. The thank you notes from the parents of my children are great research documentation that I know what I am doing. Good reading!

arry on!
