In schools of every description, teachers are working to turn their classrooms into reading-writing workshops. They're filling bookcases with the best of childrens literature, and students are tucking... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is a must read for teachers. This booked helped me to change how I look at myself both as a reader and as a writer. It also helped me to develop a better understanding how I should help students see themselves as both readers and writers. Allowing students to read and write on their own individual level is one of the greatest gifts we can give our students.
In the Company Of Children by Joanne Hindley
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Let me start by letting you know I am not a teacher. However, I read this book and felt it is not just for teachers of children, but for anyone who has or deals with children on a regular basis. I found it insightful and useful as a parent in planning leasons to help my child excel in education. It is a must read for anyone who finds themself in the company of children.
Inspiration for teachers!

This book was probably the best read of all the education books I've read. As a new teacher, everyone has an opinion on how things should be. JoAnne Hindley's approach is a model for me, one that I hope to live up to.It just makes sense.

My friend Annie and I were inspired by Joanne`s book,along with another book by Ralph Fletcher.We are writing a book about children`s writer`s notebooks,and how children write.Since we are kids,we know alot about this topic.I have read parts of Joannes` book,and it helped me alot.Joanne is my teacher,and without the book,she`s taught me alot about writing.In fact,without her,I wouldn`t know what a writer`s notebook was.
