A reader's notebook can be a place to document thinking and growth, to support thinking for group discussions, and to explore ideas about a text without each one being judged as evidence of reading progress. This book takes teachers through the process of launching, developing, and fine-tuning a reader's notebook program. Teacher-guided lessons help students create anchor texts for their notebooks using various comprehension and writing strategies. As students' work evolves, the notebook helps them to make connections among ideas, texts, strategies, and more.
