Welcome to our book blog! I am excited about learning through the sharing of our thoughts and questions. Although we may not agree with all of what we read or discuss, please keep an open mind and a positive attitude. Communicating this way can be a little intimidating, but keep in mind that we are all here for the same reason...our passion for learning and teaching.

PC R-3 middle school communication arts teachers read and discuss Nancie Atwell's book about reader's workshop. Nancie draws on evidence gathered through 20 years of teaching and makes a powerful case for the reading workshop. This book establishes the top ten conditions for making engaged classroom reading possible for students at all levels and provides practical support and structures for achieving them.
