I usually start hording books for this reading frenzy just after March Break, but this year, I have done a great deal of reading for pleasure. I have some theories as to why I have already finished much of the cache of books intended for the summer, but that is the subject of another post. I can tell you that the reason is, sadly, not a bunch of free time...
So, to fill the gap, I recently ordered a number of books to do some professional reading. I have finished one book already (I said I was reading a lot). I thought I would share what I have chosen, and then note a bit about each one as I finished them - more as a record for me than anything else.
So here they are. I am feeling unusually optimistic that I have a few good titles.
- Readicide: How schools are killing reading and what you can do about it by Kelly Gallagher
- Attention, Please! How to make speaking in class presentable, enjoyable, and memorable for all by Kathleen Gould Lundy
- Fair Isn't Always Equal: Assessing & Grading in the Differentiated Classroom by Rick Wormeli
- Deeper Reading: Comprehending Challenging Texts, 4-12 by Kelly Gallagher
- Grammarama! by Les Parsons
- The Writing Circle by Sylvia Gunnery
- Pulling Together: Integrating inquiry, assessment, and instruction in today's English classroom by Schnellert, Datoo, Ediger & Panas
I welcome any suggestions and I will let you know how it goes.
