Title: An excellent source for secondary teachers.
Review: Janet Allen has shown us how to break out of our outdated teaching methods and reach at-risk students. This book provides the middle school and secondary teacher with a detailed description of how to set up and implement a reading program for aliterate youth. Her methods allow the teacher to begin working with a student at any reading level and improve. The heart of her teaching concept relates to allowing each student to read what they are interested in reading and slowly become self-motivated learners. The teacher guides the students through teacher oral reading, a large in-class library, interesting class projects and most important of all "time to read". What I enjoyed most about the book were her detailed descriptions of classroom procedures and stories of student success and failure. A great book for any middle school or secondary teacher that has students that know how to read but will not.
