All of the strategies are classroom tested, and the blackline masters offer powerful incentives for creative interactions.Each chapter is loaded with assessment tools for teachers, student self-reflection forms, observation guides, and parent activities that are ready for immediate use. You and your students will laugh together in Game Show, explore graphophonic understandings through Alphaboxes and AlphaAntics, engage in inferential reasoning with V.I.P., and stretch your understanding with Interactive Journals.Revisit, Reflect, Retell is firmly grounded in constructivist reading theory, offering support across a range of genres and learning styles.

Rereadings: Seventeen writers revisit books they love
Is a book the same book-or a reader the same reader-the second time around? The seventeen authors in this witty and poignant collection of essays all agree on the answer: Never. The editor of Rereadings is Anne Fadiman, and readers of her bestselling book Ex Libris (FSG, 1998) will find this volume especially satisfying. Her chosen authors include Sven Birkerts, Allegra Goodman, Vivian Gornick, Patricia Hampl, Phillip Lopate, and Luc Sante; the objects of their literary affections range from Pride and Prejudice to Sue Barton, Student Nurse. Each has selected a book or a story or a poem--or even, in one case, the lyrics on the back of the Sgt. Pepper album--that made a deep impression in his or her youth, and reread it to see how it has changed in the interim. (Of course, what has really changed is the reader.) These essays are not conventional literary criticism; they are about relationships. The relationship between reader and book is a powerful one, and as these writers attest, it evolves over time. Rereadings reveals at least as much about the reader as about the book: each is a miniature memoir that focuses on that most interesting of topics, the protean nature of love. And as every bibliophile knows, no love is more life-changing than the love of a book. .
