Imagine this: First graders analyzing texts, critiquing ideas, debating points, and making connections. That's why she wants teachers to understand the importance of teaching children how to talk about their reading. Most important, she offers a step-by-step guided comprehension process in which teachers have students:observe, analyze, and investigate the workings of a real conversation"wonder" with a partner after a read-aloudrefine content and behaviors in one large literature conversationuse the process in a small group without the teacher's presenceread independently for conversation grist that will later drive interactions and assessments.Because dialogue is critical to this process, the book features plentiful examples to demonstrate the higher levels of thinking and rich discussions that occur as students move into constructing their own knowledge. Invite your students into this culture of focused talk. And this is what Ardith Cole writes about in this book, a comprehensive, inspiring guide to the art and practice of literature conversations.Cole is committed to literature conversations because she has watched them change lives and perspectives, build confidence and compassion, and produce dramatic consequences, both in and out of the classroom
"Teach your students how to discuss literature" according to Teacher-TX. My students conversations about literature were many times disappointing. Then I realized that they don't know how to discuss literature. Not only had they never been taught how to do it, I was clueless about how to teach them to do it. This book demonstrates a step-by-step process for teaching students how to have conversations about literature. I know lots of teachers who are using it and seeing enhanced comprehension in their students. Highly recommended.. Love this Natalie I love this book! I used it with my project for my graduate work and found it to be very interesting. I video taped my students in book clubs before and after instruction and found that their level of questioning rose significantly. They started generating their own questions, critiquing the writer's craft, making connections with their own lives and learning to see other points of view.. "Worthy of consideration for Inclusion in a Balanced Literacy Program" according to Michael A. Brocato. The idea behind this approach is to have students share / discuss what they are reading with another student or other students reading the same work. Approach does contain good suggestions for modeling / teaching conversation skills needed for the approachand that idea alone is worthy for many students in this day
