4.0 out of 5 stars Different Approach
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2005

This book has good information and ideas. Howevever they promote a "discussion prompts" approach, rather than a "role sheets" approach. So if you're looking for help in teaching students about the Connector, Literary Luminary, Word Wizard and so on, this book is not it. However if the "roles" are not working for you, maybe this book would give you the different approach you need.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a useful book

I think I know a little bit about literature circles already... but it wasn't anything groundbreaking to me. I guess what I was looking for is maybe some evidence (anectdotal or otherwise) that would show how great Lit circles are (for elementary learning). I envision a class where the language arts program revolves around "book club" type activities... cuz I'm not really in love with the whole 'read-from-the-anthology', traditional way (as the basis for LA instruction). I think it's boring a lot of the time--for both student and teacher.

So in that regard, while I still thinks it's a book that has value... I don't think it was a MUST read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Lit Circles book for engaging all levels of students
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2012
Great ideas for all ages of students. Many ideas beyond simply using the role sheets (which I find to limit natural conversation in the classroom). Though most of this book is geared towards middle school classes, I have found it very adaptable to my high school English I classes. After using tips in this book, I have seen a remarkable difference in the performance of my students in literature circles.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're ready for the next step in literature circles...
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2008
I teach middle school language arts (6th-8th) and was looking for the next step in literature circles that would bring my students past their dependence on role sheets. This book is a must have for any classroom teacher that wants to focus more on the quality of discussion and interaction during literature circles. My students are more aware of what constitutes a good discussion and how to ask open-ended questions that add to the talk and draws out more from their peers. I highly recommend this resource!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2003
This is a great book for those who are beginning to experiment with literature circles in the classroom. From start to finish this book gives ideal situations, practices and real examples. It also recognizes that literature circles often have many problems and frustrations and walks the reader through scenarios step by step. There are mini strategy lessons as well as reproducibles that are very helpful. I love this book and have already recommended it to many of my colleagues.
