Book Reviews of Workshops That Work!

Book Review: Finally....a Practical Book for Classroom Use!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've read a lot of books for perfecting classroom practice but there are few that provide teachers with the actual "nuts and bolts" practicality that new teachers need. Literacy teachers who need a handle on the workshop model (both reading and writing) need look no further than "Workshops that Work". Having had the privilege to work alongside both these teachers and see them in action, I can tell you firsthand that they've managed to capture their classroom magic on the printed page- this is a tome that can stand proudly next to books by Calkins, Fletcher, Robb and other experts in the field!
