Writers ARE Readers: Flipping Reading Instruction into Writing Opportunities is a fabulous resource! The text is conversational in tone, which makes reading it enjoyable. The lesson explanations are written as if you are sitting in a classroom with the authors, observing an actual lesson unfolding with students. The text is like having a literacy coach, master teacher, and children's literature expert all placed within the pages of this text. All you have to do is flip to a section of interest, and those virtual guides are right there waiting to guide you! As a literacy specialist, I plan on using this text with an upcoming Teachers as Readers group. I know that the book will be popular with the participants, which will guarantee that teachers will feel as ease with giving new instructional ideas a try. Lester and Reba feature a masterful blend of children’s literature that features fresh new picks along with popular titles that have been out for some time. The way that the sample lessons are written easily lend themselves to be applied in a similar structure to other wonderful children’s literature selections. I am a longstanding fan of the work of Lester Laminack and Reba Wadsworth, and I have read many of their professional texts. Writers are Readers is my new favorite! Lester and Reba, thank-you for sharing your wisdom!
