Hi all, I, too, HIGHLY recommend Elaine's book Smart Answers to Tough Questions. I am in a school where some people are married to the anthology reader and its 150 types of tests. I respect everyone's viewpoints but having seen for myself what real literature does for kids minds...whew! There is just no way I can defend using only an anthology for reading instruction. Elaine's book gives me research based responses for my colleagues and my parents. It is a weird thing to say, but having a solid, research based, easy-to-read book like this makes me not feel so alone out there! Thanks a lot to Elaine. It's one of the best things I've picked up all summer! Kelly W Gr. 6
