Reviews
"This book is a gift, offering a rare opportunity to examine the complexities and dilemmas of successful fourth-grade literacy teaching. Allington and Johnston provide the theoretical and research foundation to make Reading to Learn an excellent text for preservice teachers and graduate students. Yet the policy discussion and rich descriptions of classrooms across the country where fourth-grade students achieve at high levels will also make it a valuable resource for elementary teacher study groups. Will join our list of 'must-reads.'"--Brenda Joiner Overturf, EdD, District Reading Specialist, Jefferson County Public Schools, Louisville, KY "This book sets the pace for what teaching--and therefore, assessment--could and should become. The authors provide rich descriptions of classroom environments where students enthusiastically and confidently accept responsibility for their own learning during the fourth-grade shift from 'learning to read' to 'reading to learn.' The voices of students are clearly heard in the case studies, and the lack of a 'cookie-cutter' model of teaching is reassuring. The key ingredients of effective instruction are illuminated, including inquiry, dialogue, diversity, variety, participation, and respect. Together, these concepts add up to learning that is serious fun!"--Kathy N. Headley, EdD, Department of Reading Education, Clemson University "Reading to Learn is a powerful portrayal of literacy teaching in American schools, captured in the revealing stories of six exemplary fourth-grade teachers. Giving new meaning to the term 'high stakes,' the authors offer compelling evidence that literacy teaching in fourth grade is an effortful, multidimensional, and highly complex enterprise. They put the focus back where it belongs--on student-teacher interactions rather than formalized tests and overly simplistic reforms. This volume should be required reading for every educator and policymaker concerned with literacy development in today's post-industrial society."--Patricia A. Alexander, PhD, Department of Human Development, University of Maryland, "[The authors] use this text as a political statement to illustrate that high-stakes testing and 'proven' commercial programs do not produce excellent classrooms or exemplary teachers. The authors present a powerful argument against high-stakes testing and for the necessity of shifting the current focus of the reading debate."--Childhood Education "Reading to Learnoffers an encouraging glimpse into an alternative to the current test heavy approach to fourth grade instruction....This book should be required reading for teachers, and not only those responsible for fourth grade. It should also be read by those who make the big decisions that teachers must then implement."--Teacher College Record "Allington (Univ. of Florida) and Johnson (Univ. of Albany) illustrate in rare detail the art of teaching, providing rich descriptions of classrooms where teachers and students successfully engage in the processes that promote learning. In an age where the pressure of accountability has led many educators to emphasize the pragmatic, thus sharply reducing student engagement and the effective classroom interactions that stimulate responsibility and inquiry, this book offers proof that stimulating thinking and literacy in an integrated manner will not only produce students who like to learn and feel good about their accomplishments, but will raise test scores as well. The vignettes capture the spirit of learning environments and remind us that teaching, while based on philosophy, planning, and curriculum, also concerns the social process of human interactions and the constructivist process of framing meanings, sometimes in unexpected ways. It is then that the personal qualities of teachers shine, testifying to their art. Based on solid research, this is a must-read for preservice teachers and a thoughtful stimulus for practicing elementary teachers. This opportunity to sit in the classrooms of six highly successful fourth-grade teachers and observe them in action is not to be missed by anyone who cares about developing literacy. Recommended for undergraduate and graduate students and educational professionals."--Choice, "[The authors] use this text as a political statement to illustrate that high-stakes testing and 'proven' commercial programs do not produce excellent classrooms or exemplary teachers.

Synopsis
Fourth-graders around the country face new, high-stakes standardized tests, drawing increased attention to the need for effective literacy instruction in the upper-elementary grades. This essential book goes beyond political catch-phrases to examine what actually works in the fourth-grade classroom. After reviewing current research on upper-elementary reading instruction, the book takes readers directly into the classrooms of six highly successful teachers. Like the previously published Learning to Read, which focused on the first grade, Reading to Learn offers a rare view of the techniques and strategies good teachers use to engage students, help them develop as thoughtful readers and writers, and bolster self-directed learning and literate conversation. Bringing to life the complexities of day-to-day work with diverse students, the book provides inspiration and practical ideas for any teacher in the upper-elementary grades., This essential book goes beyond political catch-phrases to examine what actually works in the fourth-grade classroom.
