Routman (a language arts coach in the US) has created a useful guide full of techniques and examples for teaching reading at the pre-college level. Crediting the origins of her teaching philosophy to Don Holdaway, Routman stresses the experience of the teacher, rather than their tasks. The techniques describe classroom organization, group events, reading-writing activities, and professional development. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
