Disrupting Thinking: Why How We Read Matters

With their hallmark humour, Beers and Probst present

a vision of what reading and what education across all the year groups

could be.

In particular, they share new strategies and ideas for helping

classroom teachers create engagement and relevance, encourage responsive

and responsible reading, deepen comprehension and develop

lifelong reading habits.

An essential book for teachers looking to engage

children deeply in the books they read. Beers and

Probst show how to engage children in reading

at a textual, intellectual and emotional level so they…respond

to them personally and collectively and

ultimately come to see their reading as a tool for shaping the world

around them. Rachel Clarke, Independent
