I think I might order the book-- just looked at it on Amazon. I'm curious about it. But also, something keeps nagging me in the back of my head saying "IF KIDS ARE READING BOOKS AT THEIR LEVEL, THEY WILL DO THESE STRATEGIES NATURALLY." (All caps because it is shouting at me!)
Here's the thing: I just can't imagine being caught up in a really good book, and then constantly being interrupted by someone asking me to reflect on the connections I've made, the questions I've had. All that thinking about my thinking would surely ruin the book for me. On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 9:53 AM, Heather Green <[email protected]> wrote: > I will check that book out.
