There's Room for Me Here: Literacy Workshop in the Middle School
The book is especially valuable because of its focus on students with very low levels of reading, most of whom come from economically disadvantaged, often troubled families.  This should be required reading for teachers in grades three through twelve, and young adult librarians will also find value here.  --Voice of Youth Advocates, October 1998The book reads like a novel and invites you inside Kyle's classroom where you get to know her, her students, and their struggles and successes.  To ensure her student's success, Kyle enlists Janet's help, and together they study, learn and problem solve.  Through their efforts they are able to offer teachers practical theory-based strategies for helping struggling students become excited and successful readers.  There's Room For Me Here provides detailed suggestions for creating a literate environment and should be useful to teachers and other educators grades four through twelve.  --Florida Reading Quarterly Vol 34, 4, June 1998
