Voice and Choice in Book Clubs & Reading Groups

by Harvey Daniels

(K-12)
This new edition gives a comprehensive and practical description of literature circles: what they are, where they came from, how they operate, what they mean for young readers, and how teachers can integrate them into their literacy programs. All topics have been revised and updated to reflect a decade of practice, problem solving, and refinement. Particular attention is paid to issues of management, preparation of students, and enacting the principles of group dynamics. Reproducible "role" sheets in English and Spanish are included.
