Congrats to you! What a great opportunity. I'd suggest "To Understand" by Ellin Keene-- Since it is an advanced class you can REALLY focus on deep understanding. I have read this book twice and parts of it multiple times. ---Incredible approach to teaching!!!
I also just received from Amazon today in the mail--(can't wait to dig in) A new author Donalyn Miller "The Book Whisperer" This teacher discusses how she engaged students to read 40 books a year and how reading and scores improved. Good Luck and have fun!!! Rhonda I was recently offered a position teaching an advanced 7th grade reading > class!
