"At last we have a practical and theoretical framework that allows classroom teachers to support learners in the context of their everyday classroom operation.  Drawing on established learning theory and sound conceptual assumptions, Jane Baskwill and Paulette Whitman describe in detailed, concrete term the "how-to" of coaching children in their reading development."

"Children naturally make connections.  What happened yesterday is related to what happens today; knowledge is pooled, experiences shared.  We can capitalize on this ability and use it to build an interrelated curriculum that gives children opportunities to explore the languages of science, social studies, math and language arts."

Together, parents and teachers can make learning a positive experience for children.  In this honest and candid account, Jane describes her growing concern about the lack of communication between home and school, and the positive action it inspired.  She presents a convincing argument that teachers and parents must become partners in the education of their children and offers many practical ideas and strategies to assist them.

When teachers begin to observe, record and interpret what their children are saying and doing on a daily basis, they discover useful and manageable alternatives to traditional testing procedures, alternatives that are neither difficult nor complicated.

We and our children constantly produce good writing.  A lot of our works deserve to be published. But there are many reasons why few - if any - can be published by commercial publishing houses.  Therefore we publish them ourselves, for our own communities.
