A classroom thriving on independent reading is inspiring; with students strewn around the room, open books in hand, and a quiet hush filling the room. This innovative book shows teachers how the Reading 8 Box can help add value, authenticity, and accountability to independent reading programs and keep the focus on student reading. This book offers teachers a useful overview of the Reading 8-Box and its components. From a reproducible blank template to numerous student samples of the Reading 8-Box in action, the book illustrates how students can use a single page to strengthen and monitor their comprehension, language and thinking skills. It offers a range of graphic organizers and open-response opportunities that help deepen student thinking and response.

Independent Reading Inside the Box,
By Jan of MI (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Independent Reading Inside the Box (Paperback)
This is a great book! It is full of ideas that I can use with my guided reading groups and my book clubs (literature circles) groups. The one problem I have is the size of each block. My third grade students were not able to fit their writing and drawings into the space. However, I increased the size of each box and it was much better. I was able to put two activities on an 8 1/2 X 11 page and that worked.

Tools for Independent Reading Accountability,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Independent Reading Inside the Box (Paperback)
Have you desired some authentic, purposeful, instructional tool to hold students accountable during Independent Reading? This is the book for you!
Based on four critical teaching elements; Word Skills, Taxonomy of Thinking, Text Elements, and Reading Comprehension Strategies, the author Lisa Donahue designed meaningful graphic organization tools. The "8 boxes" incorporate all reading strategies with the ability to diferentiate to student needs requiring accountability through written responses. The book offers various templates to use with detailed explanations and grading rubrics for student expectations. I recommend this book as a tool that targets students individual needs at all levels in learning.
