The Book Whisperer

Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Donalyn Miller says she has yet to meet a child she couldn't turn into a reader. No matter how far behind Miller's students might be when they reach her 6th grade classroom, they end up reading an average of 40 to 50 books a year. Miller's unconventional approach dispenses with drills and worksheets that make reading a chore.
