"All three Girl Who books would make a heck of a summer of reading.
How about The Help for a completely different reading experience?
Although I'm a book person, I received a Kindle for a recent birthday and have tried reading on it. Not the…"

Vicki Steinberg commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"More geared to business/life but all his books have implications for education--and he's an author who manages to write about studies so those of us who can't follow the studies can still understand them. Try Tipping Point. We used it as a…"
Vicki Steinberg commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"I thought one of the most interesting, and telling, ideas he mentions is that one becomes an 'expert' after 10,000 hours of practice. That certainly makes a difference in my thinking about once and done assignments."
Vicki Steinberg replied to Brenda Krupp's discussion Popular Culture as Literacy Tool (chapter 5) in the group DWN Book Club: Holding on to Good Ideas in a Time of Bad Ones"I don't have all that many misgivings--and I've assigned my share of 'what would Holden's website look like' to grab the kids--but it's always in the back of my mind to be sure the thinking matters more than the…"
Vicki Steinberg replied to Ken C's discussion What's in Your Summer To-Be-Read Pile? in the group What are you Reading?"I just (yesterday or the day before?) heard the author of If I Stay interviewed on NPR so it'll be available through their website if anyone wishes to listen."
Vicki Steinberg replied to Brenda Krupp's discussion Popular Culture as Literacy Tool (chapter 5) in the group DWN Book Club: Holding on to Good Ideas in a Time of Bad Ones"A quick thought--should the classroom be a 'media-safe' environment? I'm pretty sure I don't know exactly what I mean by that, except that the kind of deep reasoning which we encourage students in seems absent from so much of…"

DWN Book Club: Holding on to Good Ideas in a Time of Bad Ones
Start Reading! Many of you have commented on this book in passing. I think it's time to have a book discussion about Newkirk's book, Holding on to Good Ideas in a Time of Bad Ones. Get yourself a copy. Read it by May 18th. The discussion starts then!
Vicki Steinberg commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"I heard the Columbine author on NPR and was very interested to hear him say the media had originally made so many mistakes and fed on itself that there's an amazing amount of misinformation out there about the events and the two boys. He should…"
Vicki Steinberg commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"I have a bookmark halfway through the book. And it's been there a while. What stopped me and what's keeping me from either abandoning or finishing? And who says this is a book for a kid of any age?"
Vicki Steinberg commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"Major part of the "Christian genre" but also remarkably repetitious so I'd suggest just skimming the first book. Another 'new' genre is "bonnet books" set in Amish territory with Amish characters, a subset of…"
Vicki Steinberg commented on Barry Lane's blog post Readicide : How Schools are Killing Reading and What We Can Do About It"If you're stuck with a basal program, maybe The Book Whisperer, book and blog, will give some encouragement on ways to be subversive, gently."
Vicki Steinberg replied to Carol Owen's discussion Mentor Texts"I assume you've heard of Lynn Dorfman and Rose Capelli's two books: Mentor Texts and Non-fiction Mentor Texts. They are classroom teachers, terrifically knowing about books, and teacher-consultants with the Pennsylvania Writing and…"
