A Teacher's Guide to Reading Conferences: The Classroom Essentials Series

Most teacher books are impossible to understand, relate to, or even want to read... This one is written in understandable language and is extremely helpful. you can even register it online and get printable forms! I would recommend this to anyone who plans on doing a workshop model.

Being at a new school this year I’ve had to learn reading workshop. It’s been very confusing because I have been doing guided reading for so long. This book gave me the steps and confidence I need understand and make this big change! Complicated philosophies are put into simple terms and written specifically for teachers. It’s been a game changer for me.

Reading and Writing conferences have been changed by using this book for my middle schoolers

Very User-Friendly with Suggestions You Can Use Tomorrow---This is a quick read for busy, dedicated teachers who can implement ideas and strategies right away. It immediately puts a mind at ease when conferring is something new.

Jennifer is such a clearheaded thinker, researcher, and writer! I love how clearly she explains what to do and why as well as how. She always looks at being practical so you can count on what she’s teaching you to be easy to implement. Thank you, Jennifer!
