New 2007! A first-of-its-kind book to cover the roles of engagement and conferencing in a successful independent reading program. Supporting Independent Readers: Instructional Strategies to Increase Proficiency and Engagement Nancy Allison, Language Arts School Improvement Specialist, Spring Woods Middle School, Houston, Texas This book asks teachers to re-think their role during independent reading time and to see it as an opportunity to work one-on-one with individual readers through desk side individual conferencing. Author Nancy Allison shows how, during supported independent reading, students should be engaged with books that they themselves have chosen while the teacher travels through the room conducting one-on-one conferences with readers engaged in the act of reading. She shows how this powerful instructional strategy can lead students both to reading proficiency and to a lifelong love of reading. Practical and full of ready-to-use advice, the book explains how to showcase books students will enjoy, how to structure classrooms to promote student engagement in reading, how to guide students to books at the proper level for growth, and how to conference with all levels of readers so that they will increase their reading abilities and learn to love reading. The author provides classroom examples, suggested authors and titles, and reproducible forms. 2007 Paperbound 132pp est. ISBN 1-933760-07-9 978-1-933760-07-0 Order #3035 $22.95
