Why so many? The research is clear. The more you read, the better reader you will become!
Some self-reflection... as I thought back to my past teaching practice, I know that I never gave my students enough time to actually read, and I never supported their reading selection in a powerful way as Miller demonstrates. Miller offers a wealth of tips and alternatives to whole class novel practice that we know is not successful practice in our classrooms. Miller will certainly challenge your beliefs about these practices by providing solid evidence and strong alternatives. Of course, what it all comes down to: Know your readers and be a reader yourself! This is a must read, in my opinion, for every teacher of reading.
