Raising the Standards Through Chapter Books: The C.I.A. Approach Reviews
Earnest Parenting Review: Sarah Collinge has written the book Raising the Standards Through Chapter Books: The C.I.A. Approach, and it's rocking my (educational) world. Let me explain. My boys do not like to read. Teaching them to read was a very painful process for all of us, even though I did my very best to make it at least tolerable. Reading stories, going to the library, having plenty of books available around the house…I've tried every trick I could to improve things. I gave up on the whole battle last year.

Families.com Review: I am going a little off topic in today's blog, as I had the chance to review a book I was recently sent titled "Raising the Standards through Chapter Books: The C.I.A.

For the love of teaching.net Review: I found another book that really speaks to my teaching heart. Specifically to my "students should get to read chapter books and learn their 'thinking for reading skills'" heart. This book is called Raising the Standards Through Chapter Books: The C.I.A. Approach, by Sarah Collinge. (C.I.A. stands for Collect, Interpret, and Apply.) Continue reading the rest of the review here @ fortheloveofteaching.net
Getting Smart Review: Americans today are reading less. The National Endowment for the Arts reported that less than one-third of 13-year-olds read daily and 19 percent of 17-year-olds are non-readers. Even those that do read, the report suggests, aren't reading as well. Reading scores among students today have declined. While employers report the increasing importance of reading as a basic skill, many graduates today fall short. Continue reading the rest of the review here @ gettingsmart.com...
