Disrupting Thinking: Why How We Read Matters (Scholastic Professional)

With their hallmark humour, Beers and Probst present a vision of what reading and what education across all the year groups could be. In particular, they share new strategies and ideas for helping classroom teachers create engagement and relevance, encourage responsive and responsible reading, deepen comprehension and develop lifelong reading habits. "An essential book for teachers looking to engage children deeply in the books they read. Beers and Probst show how to engage children in reading at a textual, intellectual and emotional level so they…respond to them personally and collectively and ultimately come to see their reading as a tool for shaping the world around them." Rachel Clarke, Independent Reading Consultant
