Book Whisperers (Reviving the Reader Within Every Child) by Donalyn Miller... Author Donalyn Miller says she has never met a child she couldn't turn into a book lover. In this remarkable book, Miller describes how she inspires and motivates her students to read, revealing the secrets of her powerful and unique teaching approach. She rejects traditional reading methods, instead embracing a system of giving students the freedom to choose what they read and focusing on establishing a library in each classroom filled with the most engaging books for her students. Most importantly, she focuses on setting a positive and trustworthy example of appropriate reading behavior. Her enthusiasm for reading is contagious and inspiring, and the results speak for themselves. No matter how late Miller's students begin their classes, they eventually read nearly 40 books a year, achieve high scores on standardized tests, and develop a lifelong love of reading. In this book, you will see how Miller guides her students to discover the abundant rewards of reading and helps them navigate the world of literature. This book will help teachers, administrators, and parents understand how to overcome the current situation in classrooms where some children learn to read, while many others learn to hate it.
