From Striving to Thriving by Stephanie Harvey and Annie Ward gives easy to implement strategies to grow readers. It is organized beautifully. My favorite section is the last section. It gives short chapters for implementing practice for readers and tips for teachers that won't take much time. You'll leave this sections thinking, why didn't I come up with that!

Just received Kate Messner's book Real Revision: Author's Strategies to Share with Student Writers. I can't wait to dive into learning. Here is the link to her book from Stenhouse publishers.
Real Revision
I'm about 1/4 the way through this book. My favorite part so far has been "Creating a Revision Friendly Classroom." I agree with the ideas in this chapter. I will be teaching a Freshman English class at the end of the day this year. And, since my classroom is the library, that is where the class will meet. I think since this is such an open space with lots of tables, editing will be so much easier than when I taught in a traditional classroom. Students will be able to move around and pick a spot to revise. I can't wait!
