A co-worker recommended this book to me, and it should be a REQUIRED resource for any ELA (English Language Arts) teacher–excellent mini-lessons as well as insightful ideas about the importance of reading. This book will guide my reading lessons for the rest of the year.

I am an English Literature Educator and I decided to concentrate on some new reading strategies for this upcoming school year. After reading the wonderful reviews, I felt like I could do no wrong in purchasing this book. Guess what? I was wrong. These mini-lessons are not practical and are not really geared to help reading comprehension in the least. I admire the author’s knowledge of reading as a study, but now have a book that will sit on my shelf for the rest of my career. I wish I could see what others found to be so special about it. Perhaps I am just too much of a realist and I know that this is not something that will work in my class. If I find it boring– I can’t imagine what my middle grade students will think. Really– don’t get it. If you must, first go check it out in person and take a look through it before you waste your precious money.

Reading Reasons is a great resource. It provides reasearch and lesson activities from someone who deals with students on a daily basis — a teacher! The book is very user friendly.
