New! Collaborative Strategies for Teaching Reading Comprehension
I don’t work as the acquiring editor on too many book projects anymore. When I did, school libraries was one of may areas. I’ve been struck by the passion and idealism of our school librarian authors. Judi Moreillon is passionate about getting librarians directly involved in reading and reading comprehension. From my sideline view, technology seems to have swept aside teacher-librarians’ logical role in reading instruction. Conversations with Linda Cornwell of Scholastic and ALA author Gail Bush at National-Louis University’s Center for Teaching through Children’s Books got me thinking about what we might publish. Then I met Judi, who knew just what she wanted to write — Collaborative Strategies for Teaching Reading Comprehension: Maximizing Your Impact.

If a beginning or “seasoned” teacher-librarian wants to purchase just one book to support their professional development in 2007, this is the one! I have had the distinct pleasure of working collaboratively with Judi field testing several of the lessons included in her book. Implementing even one lesson of Judi’s with your classroom-teachers will instantly increase your credibility as an educator in your school’s professional learning community.
