I second that emotion. I saw Kylene Beers three days during the year and then went to her summer Adolescent Literacy Institute at Yale, with math, social studies, and special ed teachers from our school and they were totally transformed! We bought "When Kids Can't Read" for our whole school. Everyone is abuzz about looking at reading comprehension across the subject areas. She is great! Also, she is coming out with a new book and has some new research, so the materials you get from the workshop are in addition to what is in When Kids Can't Read.
