Title: small, but not small enough
Review: I had high expectations for this book because of Johnston's work with Richard Allington...however I was under whelmed. This book could have been written on a one page handout - one side containing what things teachers should be saying to students and one side containing what things teachers should not be saying to students. A simple paragraph on each page would provide more than enough explanation.
