5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, May 25, 2003
By S. Borzumati (the woods, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book for those who are beginning to experiment with literature circles in the classroom. From start to finish this book gives ideal situations, practices and real examples. It also recognizes that literature circles often have many problems and frustrations and walks the reader through scenarios step by step. There are mini strategy lessons as well as reproducibles that are very helpful. I love this book and have already recommended it to many of my colleagues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different Approach, October 15, 2005
By Daria Doering (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has good information and ideas. Howevever they promote a "discussion prompts" approach, rather than a "role sheets" approach. So if you're looking for help in teaching students about the Connector, Literary Luminary, Word Wizard and so on, this book is not it. However if the "roles" are not working for you, maybe this book would give you the different approach you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Literature circles, November 9, 2006
This book is good but Harvey Daniels book provides a better explaination. This is a great second resource.
