Media Reviews
Reading History is a great idea-Janet Allen's strategies have won her a very large audience. I highly recommend this book. - Dennis Denenberg, Professor of Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Millersville University
Well-known literacy advocate Janet Allen has written 'a practical guide [for] improving literacy' to be used in conjunction with Joy Hakim's 11-volume A History of US....This one is chock-full of real-world methodologies designed to overcome resistance and apathy from students. * Library Journal *
Like most such books, this one is chock-full of real-world methodologies designed to overcome resistance and apathy from students who, at least as presented in the introduction, are generally ignorant and unmotivated. Suitable for textbook collections, particularly in those middle schools that use Hakim's A History of US. * Library Journal *
Author Bio
Janet Allen is one of the most prominent and outspoken literacy advocates in the country. A former elementary school teacher and university instructor, hundreds of teachers attend her seminars each year. Her books Words, Words, Words: Teaching Vocabulary in Grades 4-12 and Yellow Brick Roads: Shared and Guided Paths to Independent Reading have been praised by elementary and secondary school teachers, education professors, adult literacy advocates, and ESL instructors. Dr. Allen lives in Orlando, Florida. Christine Landaker has been teaching for the last ten years; her first nine were in urban and suburban schools in Orlando, Florida. Her first love is history and the social studies, followed closely by her love of reading and English. She has seemlessly combined the two in her classroom. Christine is currently an 8th grade English teacher at Pierce Middle School in Milton, Massachusetts.
