Table of Contents | About the Author(s)

A classroom thriving on independent reading is inspiring; with students strewn around the room, open books in hand, and a quiet hush filling the room. This innovative book shows teachers how the Reading 8 Box can help add value, authenticity, and accountability to independent reading programs and keep the focus on student reading. This book offers teachers a useful overview of the Reading 8-Box and its components. From a reproducible blank template to numerous student samples of the Reading 8-Box in action, the book illustrates how students can use a single page to strengthen and monitor their comprehension, language and thinking skills. It offers a range of graphic organizers and open-response opportunities that help deepen student thinking and response.
