The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller; Jeff Anderson (Foreword by)
ISBN: 9780470372272
Publication Date: 2009-03-16
Donalyn Miller says she has yet to meet a child she couldn't turn into a reader.

Miller's unconventional approach dispenses with drills and worksheets that make reading a chore. Instead, she helps students navigate the world of literature and gives them time to read books they pick out themselves.
