SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
If you can imagine a primary classroom where all the children are engaged and motivated; where the buzz of excited emerging readers fills the air; where words are sounded out and connections are made between book pages and life experiences, then you have pictured the real classroom of author Debbie Miller. In this book Debbie leads the reader through a year in her classroom in which her students learn to become thoughtful, independent, and strategic readers.
