ReviewsRead this book and you will come to the conclusion that there is no nobler, no more enjoyable, and no more satisfying profession than teaching middle school language arts. I wish I had read this book in 1958. . . . Maybe it's not too late. . . . --Stephen Krashen, Professor Emeritus, University of Southern California, author of "Free Voluntary Reading", Over and over, Nancie and Anne make us believe that they literally couldn't survive without books. They read insatiably and share their love of books with their students. And those lucky kids catch their passion for a lifetime of reading. Run, don't walk, to grab this book. Take the plunge, dive in deep. You will be happy you did. --Steph Harvey, literacy consultant, co-author of Strategies That Work, "Nancy Atwell has long been on top of the reading instruction world. I remember studying her in school over ten years ago. The Reading Zone continues her work in reading instruction and focuses on specific techniques primarily for primary schools. Focusing on independent reading, Atwell fights to include time for students to just sit down and read. Included are parent letters with arguments for why this quiet reading time is essential for students of all ages. On top of that, there are strategies, especially with questioning and inferring that help to focus the young reader on staying involved in the literature that they are reading. Not only does Atwell help to guide a student into the reading zone, but also makes a strong case for leaving them alone once you find them immersed in a book that they love." --Jennifer Miller Provided via Amazon Vine, Donald Graves sits on the shoulder of every teacher of writing. Nancie Atwell sits on the shoulder of every teacher of reading. Every book, blog, or tweet about reading in our classrooms has its roots in Nancie's work. With eloquence, Nancie and Anne continue to show the commitment, the joy, and the intellectual energy students bring to, and take from, reading when offered choice. -Linda Rief, middle school English teacher and author of Read, Write, Teach, Self-selection and a huge supply of books to choose from lie at the center of the needed reforms in literacy education. Luckily for the rest of us, Atwell and her daughter and coauthor, Anne Atwell Merkel, provide the necessary literacy curriculum to make use of these key, but long neglected, aspects of literacy instruction. I love this book. --Dick Allington, Professor of Literacy Studies, University of Tennessee, Hurry! Don't let one more minute pass without reading this new edition of The Reading Zone. This book will change your teaching, it will give you hope, it will plant the seed for deep conversations, it will inspire you to invite your students to fall in love with reading for real purposes and real reasons.

Not only is this book a pleasure to read, it is a reminder to all educators that joy is essential in reading instruction. -Susan B. Neuman, Professor, New York University, "Excellent approach to reading strategies especially for children between 5 and 10. They also have ideas for older kids, but the main focus would be elementary, especially around 3rd grade, which is the most important grade when it comes to reading. This is a great text for educators and parents alike. I'd suggest you reading it!" --Benjamin Provided via Amazon Vine, Read this book and you will come to the conclusion that there is no nobler, no more enjoyable, and no more satisfying profession than teaching middle school language arts.

You leave the pages feeling a sense of urgency and the faith that you absolutely can make reading possible for all students. Nancie and Anne's impassioned, well-researched, and practical new edition should be required reading for every educator, school board member, and parent--our children need us to throw politics and personalities aside and create this kind of lasting change. -- Christopher Lehman, Founding Director, the Educator Collaborative, consultant, author, The new edition of The Reading Zone does not just celebrate the joy of independent reading in our classrooms; it is a no holds barred, knock-down-drag-out, hugely effective takedown of any argument to the contrary, full of examples and explanations of classroom practices, questioning guides, charts, parents letters, and more.
