The Book Whisperer

The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child by Donalyn Miller


Sixth grade teacher Donalyn Miller describes the instructional approach she uses to turn children into readers, based on a combination of individual choice, a program of independent reading, a collection of high-interest books, and appropriate and authentic reading behavior modeling.



My Thoughts:  I so enjoyed this book!  It was so inspiring!  I wish I taught at a school full of reading teachers that all subscribed to Donalyn Miller's ideas and methods.  I am left thinking of how I can impact readers in the library.
