She reports that it is an easy read full of ideas and practical solutions to the question of how to incorporate new standards into a classroom in order to help all learners to become independent. The first three chapters of the book center around developing successful minilessons, organizing the classroom and materials for success, and planning by organizing the standards that need to be taught. Subsequent chapters are devoted to in-depth explanations of how to implement literacy stations to address comprehension of literature and informational text, foundational skills, writing and speaking, listening and language. Each chapter has model lessons and independent activities to reinforce the standards being addressed. Ms. Diller also devotes time to help teachers problem solve difficulties that might arise and to find ways to dig deeper into the content being presented.
