I'm in the process of reading Readers Front and Center. So far I'm really enjoying it. Comes from a different perspective on conferencing/conferring with your students. While I usually feel more comfortable if I have read the book we are conferencing on, this author focuses on what you can learn about a student when you haven't read the book. The idea of having them read aloud and you asking questions about what they just read can tell you a lot. And (even if they are "wrong") asking them why they answered that way. I liked the reminder that we do not always need to jump in and correct but pay attention to their reading process. Again, I'm only about 1/3 of the way through but very interested to keep reading.
