What is one other book (professional book or other book) that is structured in a similar way as the Reading Strategies Book? by Santi Lank https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b Click anywhere in the padlet, write your name and respond to the question. en-us 2017-02-16 16:47:05 UTC 2020-05-01 20:23:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Jackie Booe: To be perfectly honest, I'm not familiar with any other reading strategies book that is set up this way or provides strategies 'cook book' style. The video makes me really excited to read this book. It looks user-friendly, and practical! The only other books I'd say come close (in my experience) are far as the teaching/instructional language used, the learning set-up/enviroment, and the user-friendly style are the Daily 5/Cafe books and the Reading Units of Study/TCRWP books. I really like those books and found the explicit lesson plans very helpful. I think there are many commonalities pedagogically among Daily 5, TCRWP's RUoS, and Jennifer S.'s book (from what I gather from the videos). https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/156543862 2017-02-27 19:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/156543862 Alison Walter https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/221308036 I see some similarities between the structure of the Reading Strategies Book and Doug Lemov's Teach Like a Champion. I will admit, however, that I still read that book cover to cover because I find that it helps me have more context into how the author intends the book to be used in a classroom. I think I will find Serravallo's book more useful if I read through all strategies within a given section/topic/level before selecting a strategy to implement, since that will help me make a more deliberate strategy choice that specifically fits with my lesson.]]> 2018-01-14 22:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/221308036 Alexandra Long https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/221918873 I really love the Reading Strategies book. I used it when I was teaching 3rd grade and I know I'll find use out of it with my Kinders as well. I can't thin of another book that I use in the classroom that is structured in the same way. I really like how easy it is to navigate and find what you are looking for. ]]> 2018-01-16 23:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/221918873 Tim Brannon https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/223056235 I really like the setup of the book. I love that it is set up to categorize the strategies by the reading goal they serve. I can't think of another book that I have read that is organized in a similar fashion.

My team and I have planned several PDs and book talks surrounding this and have created resource binders that we have accessible during our reading groups. In addition to this book, we also use the Writing Strategies book, which is equally as fantastic. The strategies are great to use for teaching specific skills for reading and writing. ]]> 2018-02-15 20:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/232133867 The Reading Strategies Book is fantastic. I LOVE IT. It is a little similar to the Lucy Caulkins guide we sometimes use to frame our lessons at MV, but what I love about RS is that it's so much more detailed and just has so much more information, very specific information, but yet-- it's still a quick read; I can easily find a lesson for a level G kid and be ready to go in 30 seconds or so. https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/233997781 2018-02-21 21:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/233997781 Jackie Farlow https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/234014903 My team has a copy of the Reading Strategies book and I love to use it during my Reader's Workshop when I pull strategy groups. It is also great when having a conference and you notice an individual student needs help with a specific skill. I have not seen another book structured like it! Hoping to get the Writing strategies book as well!

I can't say that I am familiar with another book written in a similar format as the Reading Strategies Book. Perhaps, Jennifer Serravallo's sister book, the Writing Strategies, is a close example. I haven't read that one, but I am confident that it is just as inviting and will be a helpful teaching tool. ]]> 2018-03-28 13:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/246880803 Kristi Altieri https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/247536332 I think this book is unique in that it lists strategies in a way that is immediately purposeful and accessible to the teacher. It is practical in that the reader does not necessarily need to read through the entire text, or even the introduction to each section, to begin making use of the book's strategies. Serravallo's Writing Strategies book is set up in the same way. Though not organized by individual strategy, Jan Richardson's Next Steps in Guided Reading allows teachers to use what they know about a student (primarily knowledge about guided reading level) to frame which strategies and steps can be explored next.]]> 2018-03-30 18:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/247536332 Erin Weleski I love the reading strategies book. Its format makes it easy to use. Having only one page per strategy that includes the strategy, sample language, prompts, and an examples of an associated visual is very helpful for quick reference. I have not seen any other books that break down the strategies so concisely, but Strategies That Work by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis also contains strategy lessons. https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/248277912

However, the way it is set up makes it very helpful. The format of the book makes it easy to navigate and to find and use different strategies for different levels and skills.]]> 2018-04-10 15:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/250326476 Elyse Lerman https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253868554 The Writing Strategies book is also structured this way. I don't think I have seen other books that are as clear and easy to use to meet the needs of students. ]]> 2018-04-20 15:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253868554 Kristin Orwig kristin_orwig https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253869528 I like the Pinnell and Fountas book "When Readers Struggle" but I find it is more text-heavy than The Reading Strategies book. I find the format of The Reading Strategies Book format especially helpful because it is a book based on strategies and provides teachers with lessons and wording. It's set up similarly to the TC books because it lays out the words you can use for a teaching point and ways to teach the lesson. Reading the language I might use in a strategy lesson is really helpful for me.]]> 2018-04-20 15:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253869528 Rachel Kolb https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253870924 Reading Strategies is unique in that you can flip and find a strategy to implement immediately. I am reminded of The Next Steps Forward in Guided Reading, another text that has strategies clearly laid out for immediate implementation.]]> 2018-04-20 15:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253870924 Elizabeth Butler https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253911717 The Writing Strategies book is written in a similar way based on the strategies/skills to focus on. I have also used Jan Richardson's Next Step's in Guided Reading to focus on specific strategy based on the student's levels. However, her book is not organized by strategy, rather reading levels.]]> 2018-04-20 16:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/253911717 Kathryn Barnett https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/258934830 The Writing Strategies book by Jennifer Serravallo is also structured in a similiar, user friendly model. I love both of these books as they are easy to use and offer valuable, immediate ideas and support that are easy to implement into instruction. ]]> 2018-05-08 14:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/258934830 Brenna McGreevy https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/260260794 Another book that is structured in a similar way as the Reading Strategies Book is the Lucy Calkins's Reading Units of Study. Both have references to structure your reading period but I believe The Reading Strategies Book contains more resources and student examples. It is a lot more user friendly.

Ridley https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/270179148 The Writing Strategies Book by Jennifer Serravallo has the same set-up.  Both books are excellent resources.  They are loaded with strategies, anchor charts, teaching tips, and prompts.  Serravallo's books also indicate the recommended level for each strategy.  These books are easy to follow and great  references to have. ]]> 2018-07-14 01:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/270179148 Emily Leimbach https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/271010428 The Writing Strategies book, also by Serravallo, is set up in a similar fashion. This set-up has allowed me to target a specific need for a student or group of students more immediately than other texts. Sections of the Cafe book and Daily 5 lessons are similar in implementation, but I haven't yet found a book with strategies split up so specifically and concisely.]]> 2018-07-24 19:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/271010428 Lisa Haskins https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/276359402 When Readers Struggle Teaching That Works by Gay Su Pinnell and Irene C.  Fountas is structured in a similar way.

It also provides illustrations, student work, and explicit directions for teachers.]]> 2018-08-29 18:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/276359402 Sally Preston https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/310931860 I appreciate the organization of the Reading Strategies book because it makes it easy to find a strategy to use quickly. I also like that it just doesn't explain, it gives actual examples of many of the strategies. All books are structures a little differently. One book that comes to mind as being closely related is the Common Core book "Teaching Reading Sourcebook". It also gives more than just theory but practical ways to implement or use the theories in a classroom setting. ]]> 2018-12-04 15:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/slank/Tier2SGDISection4b/wish/310931860
