With their hallmark humour, Beers and Probst present
a vision of what reading and what education across all the year groups
could be.
In particular, they share new strategies and ideas for helping
classroom teachers create engagement and relevance, encourage responsive
and responsible reading, deepen comprehension and develop
lifelong reading habits.
"An essential book for teachers looking to engage
children deeply in the books they read. Beers and
Probst show how to engage children in reading
at a textual, intellectual and emotional level so they…respond
to them personally and collectively and
ultimately come to see their reading as a tool for shaping the world
around them." Rachel Clarke, Independent
