If you find one, please contact us. | Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com The question I grappled with was how to move students from “couch-potato” readers who can answer basic questions with one word– to readers who think while reading– to readers who think beyond their reading. –Aimee Buckner In Notebook Know-How, Aimee Buckner demonstrated the power of notebooks to spark and capture students’ ideas in the writing workshop. In Notebook Connections, she turns her focus to the reading workshop, showing how to transform those “couch-potato” readers into deep thinkers. Buckner’s fourth-grade students use reader’s notebooks as a place to document their thinking and growth, to support their thinking for group discussions, and to explore their own ideas about a text without every entry being judged as evidence of their reading progress. Buckner describes her model as flexible enough for students to respond in a variety of ways yet structured enough to provide explicit instruction. Notebook Connections leads teachers through the process of launching, developing, and fine-tuning a reader’s notebook program. Teacher-guided lessons in every chapter help students create anchor texts for their notebooks using various comprehension and writing strategies. As students become more proficient, they grow more independent in their thinking and responses and will begin to select the strategies that work best for them. In the process, the notebook becomes a bridge that helps students make connections between ideas, texts, strategies, and their work as readers and writers. Notebook Connections, filled with lesson ideas and assessment tips, provides a comprehensive model for making reader’s notebooks the centerpiece of your reading workshop.

Average Customer Rating:  Easy reading resource The great thing about this book is that it's very easy to read through, not dry and methodical like so many others. Ironic, isn't it, that we're trying to teach the kids to personalize their writing, yet we're learning from very unpersonalized sources? No longer.
As a teacher who uses the reading and writing workshop in a middle school ESL classroom, I have found this book to be very valuable. Our K-12 Language Arts coordinator recommended this book to me. It's full of ideas and the structure needed to reach reading and writing goals. It's very user friendly and helps teachers to set up (and actually use) a format that works.
This is an excellent resource for both beginning and advanced teachers. Helpful book I found this book very helpful. I have started using some of the ideas in my classroom and think it's a great way to get the kids to think through their ideas. Buckner Does It Again! Another great resource for teachers! Filled with student examples and titles of great literature this will be a well-worn book before the year is up. This book does for readers' notebooks what her previous book did for writers. It includes easy-to-use ideas that take the readers' notebook to a new level. Her first lesson,'What I know to be true about reading', provides a wonderful avenue to learn about the students thoughts on reading in each student's individual style. She also stressed giving students time to talk about books as well-which is supported by research. She stressed starting out with guided practice using the read-aloud to model the strategy being taught. Immersing the students in quality literature will hopefully produce life-long learners--we know worksheets can't! |  |
