The book is here, the book is here! I finally got my
hands on a hard copy of our new book, Reading
the Whole Page: Teaching and Assessing Text Features to Meet K-5 Common Core
Standards, (Maupin House, 2012). Of course, nothing compares to the feeling
of holding your child for the first time, but thumbing through a finished copy
of something you worked so hard on is one of life’s great joys. The best part
is that all those lessons and thinksheets I have used to teach text features
are now in one place, professionally designed, and ready to be used. I can’t
wait to pop the CD in and begin using it with this year’s group of kids! My
husband Jeff, a fifth-grade teacher, is trying to negotiate shared custody of
the book so he can take it to his school on Monday. I’ll have to get him his
own copy.
