Jen and Hannah outline practical steps for teachers to implement independent reading time or to enrich their current practice with multiple entry points whether you've been teaching one year or twenty. Trusting Readers is an essential and accessible guide that provides teachers with the inspiration, information, and tools needed to grow enthusiastic independent readers. They help teachers craft reading experiences for students that are centered around their engagement, instructional needs, and identities as readers. Their vision of conferring supports teachers as they support young readers. Jen and Hannah offer a clear definition of independent reading. Trusting Readers puts the independence back into independent reading-and bolsters that independence with collaboration.

Even the mainstream press now regularly features accounts of the quality and accessibility of the care available under systems that used to be considered inferior to that of “the best in the world.”ģ Through his tour of several rich industrialized countries’ hospitals and doctors’ offices and his interviews with health authorities, Washington Post journalist T.R. researchers’ interest in cross-national comparative studies has increased in recent years, and scholarly journals such as Health Affairs and the Journal of Health Politics Policy and Law regularly devote space to analyses of health care financing and delivery in developed countries.

In YA you rarely find leading females that are just pretty props for handsome boys to do their heroics. Yes, there is the occasional really sad-girl-being-sad book (ugh), but for the most part YA books are about girls surviving, overcoming, or making things happen. In my honest opinion, nearly all of them feature strong female characters. I read a lot of YA books from the famous books to barely-heard-of indies. Girls who are outspoken, willful, smarter than average, and cunning. We’re talking about outstanding young women who have grit, fortitude, determination, and courage. Being that none of our books are about martial arts or superheroes, we aren’t talking about the literal kicking of asses, for the most part. So, this begs the question, what the heck do we consider to be Kick Ass Girls? To me, that term sparks images of Buffy doing roundhouses and slaying vampires. And!

And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born! She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. In this humorous and heartfelt novel from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, the bond between a boy and his dog proves strong, as Henry vows to stick up for Ribsyeven if he is a trouble-maker From the first moment Henry found Ribsy, the curious mutt was poking his nose into things he shouldn’t be.
