review 1: I was pleasantly suprised with how much I learned while reading this book and how easy it was to relate to. I was afraid that without a background in teaching that I would be lost and feel like it didn't pertain to me. Boy was I wrong!!! The advice given is not only helping me to be a better reader, but a better writer. I am paying attention to the signposts as I read and not beating myself up when a book is simply too difficult for me. I no longer feel stupid, I feel like the book just isn't for me. I've also been able to pass along what I've learned to my kids, and they have both expressed suprise in the results they have seen. I love how readers are encouraged to incorporate their own experience and the text to understand what the writer is trying to express (35). Close... more reading IS bringing the text and reader close together (36)!Talk about judging a book...Who would have known that a book that helps you learn how to read closer could help you write better?! This is a lesson I am very glad to have learned. Bring on the next book!
review 2: I saw Bob Probst and Kylene Beers present at CCIRA in 2013 and was intrigued by the lessons they were sharing pre-publication for this book. This book focuses on 6 "signposts" that we can recognize as readers (and teach our students). These signposts are presented in very clear lessons that are quick to deliver in class and have lasting effects. I began my year last year teaching the signposts through my first read aloud and we used them all year as readers. Very good stuff! less
