Making the Match: The Right Book for the Right Reader at the Right Time, Grades 4-12 ReviewI have taught English and Reading in the middle and high school for twelve years, and in that time I have been a voracious consumer of professional books in those subject areas.
Helping kids become lifelong readers has always been my primary goal, and people like Linda Rief, Nancie Atwell, and Janet Allen have all helped with inspiring stories about their successes with children and classroom applications.
This book is different. If you are not in the market for another description of the perfect reading workshop classroom with resources and children you will probably never have or teach, but you need real ways to help get books into kids' hands, this is the book for you.
Filled with practical suggestions (as well as wonderfully inspirational "reader autobiographies" and statements from authors about why they write YA Lit), this is the book that you keep on your shelf in your room because you will USE it, not because you want to have the "right titles" visible to your colleagues.
She provides practical methods for matching the kid and the book, from techniques to learn about your students to EXTENSIVE book lists organized into multiple (again: USEFUL) categories.
My favorite section (apart from the book lists) was the last section of the book, in which she discusses ways to entice the kids into reading the books -- "Read and Tease" is a great, effective strategy, and her discussion of the mechanics of booktalking is the best one I have read.
If you teach children, run a media center, or have a reluctant reader or two in your own home, this book is a sound investment in their futures as readers.Making the Match: The Right Book for the Right Reader at the Right Time, Grades 4-12 Overview
