Teachers as Readers

Perspectives on the Importance of Reading in Teachers’ Classrooms and Lives

Michelle Commeyras, Betty Shockley Bisplinghoff, and Jennifer Olson, editors

How can a teacher’s personal reading enhance teaching in general and teaching reading and language arts specifically? You’ll find the answers in this engaging collection of narrative essays written by teachers themselves. Their personal and often moving stories illustrate how their reading lives informed their instruction (and vice versa) and reveal important dimensions of teaching reading that do not appear in textbooks.

A great gift for any teacher!
