4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Resouce for Teachers,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Reading/Writing Connection: Strategies for Teaching and Learning in the Secondary Classroom (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I bought this book to use both as a first year teacher, and to help me in my state assessment writing requirement. It is a very helpful guide to have in your lesson planning.
PROS: I love how the author includes all of the current approaches to teaching. For example MI theory and EL scaffolding. It includes real-life samples of student work and experiences. Offers lessons that are both standards and theoretically based, but visually appealing to students. CONS: My only complaint is the way the book was organized. It has too many subcategories and the Table of Contents is too busy. Overall, I highly recommend to teachers at all levels.

This book has fantastic strategies for teaching reading and writing. The website attached to the book also has extremely helpful resources - student writing samples, etc.
I really do not like how this book is laid out, however. Very wordy!!

This review is from: The Reading/Writing Connection: Strategies for Teaching and Learning in the Secondary Classroom (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
As an aspiring middle school English teacher in my first semester of ed school, I've been thrilled with the combination of theory, research and very practical lesson plans that are included in this volume. The web site that accompanies the book is fabulous.
I can't say enough about this publication -- highly recommend it!!!!
