Summer Reading

Hi Fellow Bloggers and Teaching Fanatics!  I'm excited to be starting my own blog now that school is  finally over (our last day with the kids was Friday)!  I don't have too much time to take a complete break from the teaching world though because we are going year-round next year and the kids come back on August 6th!  Sooo....I have a lot of planning and preparation to do in the next month!  I have decided however, that for the next 5 days the only school related activity I'm allowing myself to engage in is blog-stalking and summer reading.  This summer I decided to focus on comprehension strategies and just got the following books in the mail:

Comprehension Connections:  Bridges to Strategic Reading by Tammy McGregor


Strategies That Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis 

I can't wait to dig into them! Last summer, I read these great titles which helped me structure my reading block in a way that was very successful this year:


The CAFE Book: Engaging All Students in Daily Literary Assessment and Instruction by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser


The Daily Five by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser


Revisiting the Reading Workshop: Management, Mini-Lessons and Strategies by Barbara Orehovec and Marybeth Alley

What are you reading this summer?  I'm always looking for titles to add to my list!
