Product Description
Fourth-graders around the country face new, high-stakes standardized tests, drawing increased attention to the need for effective literacy instruction in the upper-elementary grades. This essential book goes beyond political catch-phrases to examine what actually works in the fourth-grade classroom. After reviewing current research on upper-elementary reading instruction, the book takes readers directly into the classrooms of six highly successful teachers. Like the previously published Learning to Read, which focused on the first grade, Reading to Learn offers a rare view of the techniques and strategies good teachers use to engage students, help them develop as thoughtful readers and writers, and bolster self-directed learning and literate conversation. Bringing to life the complexities of day-to-day work with diverse students, the book provides inspiration and practical ideas for any teacher in the upper-elementary grades.br

4 out of 5 stars Great Resource   July 20, 2007
I'm a fourth grade teacher with only two years of experience. I found the book to be very helpful, especially the interview/observations. I was a little frustrated at the small class sizes in the model teacher's rooms, but the ideas and information were excellent. Be warned that the editing was done poorly. I would recommend it to 3rd through 5th grade teachers.
