Pat I so agree with the quote and agree that I need this book!! It would be well worth discussing the book or at least the issue on the list!! See too many lesson plans and programs etc. that are teaching close reading very narrowly and in isolation. so narrowly construed I don't agree with it at all. Not sure what part is misinterpretation and what part is mandate. (One of the problems of common core is this ambiguity.)
Also saw some great great examples on Choice Literacy last week. I was so impressed with those discussions and recommend that everyone go that site and read them. They were on the free part of the list.
