74: How to Deal with Student Grammar Errors

In 'The Book Whisperer,' Donalyn Miller outlines an unconventional approach to teaching reading that focuses on empowering students to become independent readers. Miller advocates for discarding traditional reading assignments such as book reports, comprehension worksheets, and whole-class novels, and instead, encourages students to read a wide range of books that interest them. Her method involves setting high reading goals, such as reading 40 to 50 books per year, and providing regular time in class for students to read. The book includes practical strategies, recommended book lists, and self-reflection activities to help teachers and parents support students in developing a lifelong love of reading.
