A Must-Have for Any Primary Grade Teacher, Déc 7 2003
There are certain "must have" books for teachers. This is one of them. Miller takes a decade of reading research (as synthesized by Pearson, et. al., 1992), and puts it into practice in her classroom. We move through the year with her, watching as she scaffolds for us and her students explicit reading instruction that truly works. In Chapter 1, Miller goes straight to the crux of the matter: Gradually release responsibility to students; teach a few strategies of great consequence in depth over time; give students the gifts of time, choice, response, community, and structure. Chapter 2 tells us how-and why-we should create a sense of community in the classroom. "Real classroom communities," writes Miller, "are more than just a look. Real communities flourish when we bring together the voices, hearts, and souls of the people who inhabit them." We must be "deliberate" in September if we are to create the type of environment in which growth and authentic learning will occur. The Reader's Workshop is the topic of Chapter 3. Wait a minute, you may be saying, how does one have a "Reader's Workshop" when most of the students are not yet reading? "Readers' workshop in September," Miller writes, "is less about teaching children how to read and more about modeling and teaching children what it is that good readers do, setting the tone for the workshop and establishing its expectations and procedures, and engaging and motivating children to want to learn to read." And so Miller shows us, in detail, how we can go about this foundation-building. She begins with "Book Selection," then "Reading Aloud, Mini-Lessons, Reading and Conferring," and finally "Sharing." With our solid underpinning in place we are now ready to settle in---the topic of Chapter 3. Here we learn how and why to give children choices when selecting books. Miller also discusses briefly phonics and word identification---two things that she believes should be taught side-by-side with comprehension strategies. In the next two chapters Miller delves in depth into the comprehension strategies of schema and visualizing. She then devotes a chapter to "Digging Deeper." It is now January, she notes, and "[t]he time is right for increasing the sophistication of the read-alouds, showing them how to engage in more challenging dialogue and making connections from our past experiences to more in-depth learning." Timing, as they say, is everything. It is this type of knowledge and the ability to exploit the foundation that has been so carefully laid that makes Miller a teacher extraordinaire. Chapter 8 through 10 are devoted to the remaining reading strategies of inferring, questioning, determining importance, and synthesizing. Miller includes numerous anecdotes, vignettes, lesson models, tips, techniques, and more. A list of references and a detailed index are included. Practical and brilliant, this is one book that is definitely required reading for primary grade teachers. Reviewed by the Education Oasis staff

Reading for Meaning is a "must have" for any primary teacher, Jui 3 2003
If you have dedicated yourself to producing thoughtful readers who read for meaning, this is the book you need! Not only is it filled with helpful lesson ideas, but the arrangement of each chapter follows a scaffolded approach to help young readers engage and develop as lifelong readers. Miller shows teachers how to lay out the entire year. Included in this book are chapters about schema building, mental images, inferring, questioning, non-fiction reading, and synthesizing. She focuses on one comprehension strategy in each chapter, including how to introduce it to students AND what children's books she considers "tried-and-true." At the end of each chapter, the author includes a list of children's book titles that all highlight the comprehension strategy perfectly for young children. I have purchased many of the titles that she recommends. All of the books are outstanding pieces of literature that children adore. Also, the lessons work well in a Reader's Workshop format. After instruction, students can get busy practicing reading from their own books by using what they learned right away. This book is an outstanding resource for any teacher!

Reading with Menaing, Nov. 20 2002
Par Un client
As a parent interested in improving my son's progress in reading, I began to search around for just the right book to help. In early June 2002 I purchased Debbie Miller's Reading with Meaning and educated myself. After gathering many of her great ideas and book recommendations, I began to "teach" my son during his summer break from school. I would recommend this book to any parent trying to make a difference. It was truly an eye-opener for both of us!

Elementary Teachers - This is the book with the answers!!, Juil 9 2004
I have been an elementary teacher for over 20 years and I've spent 17 of those years working with struggling readers.
I wish this book had been written and published 20+ years ago. Debbie has detailed in this book the best way to teach children how to understand what reading is all about whether it is fiction or non-fiction.
Strategies are explained thoroughly from the beginning of the year to the end.
They are easy to follow and simple to implement.
This book is worth its weight in gold!!
You will not be disappointed.

Primary Teachers you really do NEED this book!, Juil 24 2003
I had bought this book after it was highlighted at a conference I attended. Shortly after, it was one of the book choices for a literature circle I was participating in during a grad class. Now nearly all the teachers in my district have read it or are familiar with it. My reading intervention teacher teaches her lessons directly from the examples in the books. It proves that you really can do a lot with comprehension in the younger grades and you can teach them to use adult language (teacher terms) to convey their thoughts. A workshop I attended yesterday focused primarly on how the teacher incorporates all the aspects of comprehension as listed by Debbie Miller in her 1 and 2nd grade looping classroom. It is an EASY/Fun professional read that gives you precise examples of lessons, activities and student responses. There is also a video series that goes along with it which has the folks from Strategies that Work leading the conversations. A MUST HAVE in any primary classroom to teach comprehension and reading effectively.

First Grade Readers Really Can Comprehend!, Jui 16 2003
I read this book to help me work with my students on comprehension. I had read Strategies That Work and Mosaic of Thought and still didn't know how to implement this comprehension study in my classroom. Reading With Meaning cleared it up for me and gave me clear examples of how to integrate a true comprehension study right along with decoding instruction. This book helped me to outline a two year comprehension study with my first and second grade looping classroom. My kids not only read well but they can comprehend great too! If you are struggling with your students to understand a text deeper this is a must read.

Reading With Meaning is a great resource!, Aoû 22 2002
This book is an excellent choice for any primary teacher! Her ideas are relevant for the first year teacher as well a teaching veteran. The goal of this book is to help educators get children active and involved in what they are reading. The chapters are set up in a logical progression from the beginning of the school year until the end. . The reader shares in this wonderful teachers joys, worries, and successes of the new school year. Her high yet attainable expectations for her students are inspiring. I plan on using several of Debbie's ideas in my classroom.

A must-read for primary teachers..., Aoû 5 2002
This is an excellent companion book to Mosaic of Thought by Ellin Keene and Susan Zimmerman. Debbie Miller's awareness of her students' needs and abilities, and her respect for them, are clear in the language she uses when talking to and about them. Especially helpful were the text use examples and the mini-bibliographies at the end of each section. If there is an e-mail ring out there for people using the ideas in Mosaic or this book, I'd love to know how to participate-please let me know in a review like this where to log on. I'm sure others would like to know, too! If you ever have to opportunity to hear Debbie Miller speak, SEIZE IT! You'll love the magic that happens in your classroom when you try out the comprehension strategies!
