Kindig (reading and children's and adolescent literature, James Madison U.) shows middle school teachers how to integrate student choice into a reading program. She outlines principles for identifying books kids will read, why choice will help them meet state standards and developmental needs, and how to make reading social and meaningful, match books to kids, prompt discussions, and help develop readers. She includes annotated book lists, such as picture books for older readers, graphic novels, novels in verse, nonfiction, and books aimed at girls or boys, as well as short reflections on reading by young adult authors. There is no index. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
