This review is from: Classrooms that Work: They Can All Read and Write (Paperback)
I bought this book as a required book for a class. It is very straightforward and easy to read. It gives lots of examples of things to do in a classroom and what those activities accomplish. I will use this book in my practice.

Classrooms That Work,
By K.Burns (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classrooms That Work: They Can All Read and Write (Paperback)
For any experienced teacher, Cunningham's condescending, dogmatic style borders upon the insulting. Carefully read, her "best methods" approach, "research-based" book is neither supported, cited nor properly footnoted within the confines of her book. In spite of that fact, her books are being implented as if they were "Bibles" in numerous districts throughout the USA. In fact, the bureaucrats of the state of Illinois are requiring that we teach her methods!Most of the material covered in her books is so very basic that most any teacher does a great deal of it already while this author gets rich. Teaching is an art not a Patricia Cunningham book. I recommend that you save your money and buy something creative and thought-provoking to make teaching exciting and not (any more) exhausting.
