I thought this was a very interesting read. I have read a few works by Kelly Gallagher on how to teach students about writing. I am so excited to see books like this written by Tovani.
As a student, I remember struggling to learn how to be an "active/engaged" reader. I still will catch myself blindly reading through a text and realize that I don't remember anything that I just read. It has happened a lot for me over the years. This book, however, has some amazing strategies for helping teach our students how to overcome this type of reading.
First of all, I love being able to share stories with my students to show them that I am trying to help them achieve. So, by telling them that I have read with the same struggles would help them connect with what I am trying to teach. It would help bring the learning to them in such a way they have a connection and motivation to learn.
