Reading Next: A Vision for Action and Research in Middle and High School Literacy. Washington, DC: Alliance for Excellent Education. This report, prepared for the Carnegie Corporation of New York, details the current state of literacy education in the United States and makes recommendations on necessary next steps to achieve literacy for all students. Allington, R. L. (2001). What Really Matters for Struggling Readers. New York: Longman. Probably the most accessible comprehensive look at reading research to its publication date, this book synthesizes research in key areas of reading. The text also includes some strategies to reach struggling readers. Allington is the current president of the International Reading Association. Allington, R., & Cunningham, P. (1994). Classrooms that work - they can all read and write. 3rd ed. Boston: Allyn and Bacon. Respected authors Patricia Cunningham and Dick Allington discuss an integrative approach to literacy - based on the simple idea that the more children read and write, the better they will read and write. Allington, R., & Cunningham, P. (2002). Schools that work - where all children read and write. 2nd ed. Boston: Allyn and Bacon. This book offers suggestions for change that must take place in order for schools to meet the increased demands of education for the 21st century. Based on their experience as teachers, administrators, researchers, reformers, evaluators, and school consultants, the authors examine policies, practices, and organizational plans that will improve or hinder learning in schools today and in the schools of the future. Atwell, N. (1987). In the Middle. Portsmouth: Boynton/Cook. This classic resource details the ins and outs of writers’ workshop.

Atwell, N. (1998). In the Middle: New Understanding about Writing, Reading, and Learning, 2 nd edition. Portsmouth: Boynton/Cook. Published ten years after the original edition, the second edition of In the Middle includes updated reflections, resources, and guidelines for transforming virtually any middle school language arts classroom into an interactive reading and writing workshop enivronment. While the book is divided into chapters, it incorporates mini-lessons to use in daily teaching. A thorough and helpful resource for teachers looking to establish workshops in their classrooms. Atwell, N. (2002). Lessons that Change Writers. Portsmouth: Heinemann. This collection of mini-lessons within the writing workshop construct gives teachers and students access to meaningful examples that move writing forward. The companion notebook of reproducible pages allows teachers to immediately apply the mini-lessons in their own classrooms. Beck, I., McKeown, M.G. and Kucan, L. (2002). Bringing Words to Life. New York: Guilford Press. Using a broad research base, the authors address the challenges of teaching vocabulary. The authors present a brilliant rationale for delivering lively and direct vocabulary instruction. They offer excellent advice on how to select rich words, present them to students, and help them revel in their usefulness. They provide many strategies and examples at various levels of the K-12 continuum that will allow kids to enter a lifelong fascination with words. Beers, K. (2003). When Kids Can’t Read, What Teachers Can Do. Portsmouth: Heinemann. This in-depth resource takes strategies from theory into practice. Throughout the text, Beers weaves in narrative and student samples to demonstrate how the reading strategies work and which reading issues they address. The text can be taken in order or in pieces. It is likely the most user-friendly reading resource to emerge in the last decade. Buckner, A. (2005). Notebook know-how: strategies for the writer's notebook. Portland, ME: Stenhouse. This book is filled with tips for launching a notebook, teaching mini-lessons throughout the year to help students become more skilled in keeping notebooks, helping struggling students transfer their notebook writing to other forms of written expression, organizing notebooks for flexibility and easy access to information, utilizing writer notebooks to help students become better readers, and effectively assessing notebooks. Burke, J. (1999). The English Teacher’s Companion. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann. This book truly is an English teacher’s companion. It describes everything from teaching writing to getting a job as an English teacher. Though there is much discussion on theories, there are also a multitude of practical applications regarding those theories. Calkins, L. (2000). The art of teaching reading. 1st ed. Needham Heights, MA: Allyn and Bacon. Nationally acclaimed educator Lucy Calkins offers a compelling look at the methods, insights and day-to-day classroom practices used by hundreds of highly effective reading teachers. She tells the stories of brilliant teachers whose children eagerly learn to read and then talk and write about their reading in amazing ways. © Albemarle County Public Schools, April 2006.
