My colleagues and I ordered this book a few months ago and I finally sat down to read the entire thing, cover to cover. I've met these two authors at a TCRWP Summer Institute and was incredibly eager to get my hands on their book this past spring. Christopher Lehman and Kate Roberts are literacy gurus and are simply the best at what they do! Their book is completely filled with amazing lessons to teach the art of close reading. "Close reading" is such a buzz word in my district right now because it's all that the Common Core modules emphasize. This book helped clarify what close reading is, how it should be practiced, and helped me understand how to teach various lenses for utilizing close reading. I can't wait to try some of these lessons in my classroom.
If you're a fifth grade teacher and higher, you MUST read this book!
