The Third Edition features an array of new and updated individual reading/writing strategies, activities and mini-lessons, and it scaffolds these strategies in extended demonstration lessons that teachers can implement in their middle and secondary English classrooms. Well-respected author Carol Booth Olson extends far beyond most books intended for teachers of language arts by integrating reading and writing in creative, theory-based ways. Already a classic in its field, this book intends to explore and reinforce the reading/writing connection and thus help teachers make visible to their students what it is that experienced readers and writers do when they make meaning from and with texts. Lauded by students and professors as a clear and straight-forward book, this new edition includes plenty of material about teaching the writing process and responding to literature, and provides new and improved lessons and activities that help students learn specific strategies.

In meetings and in life, everyone has their own agenda. “I wasn’t thinking PTA when I picked up my college diploma from the Dean’s Office. (I couldn’t attend the graduation ceremony with Mrs. History Professor sitting right there – way too awkward.) I was thinking I wished I hadn’t had that affair with Mr. History Professor, which led me to major in History, a serious mistake. I’ve always hated history. It’s so depressing, repeating itself all the time, preparing you for the future in that Brace Yourself kind of way, and leading to the humiliating admission to the Father-of-Your-Children-Rat-Bastard-Ex that he was right, there are no jobs for history majors. I wasn’t thinking History when I joined the PTA, either, but now here I am, a historian of sorts – Recording Secretary (RecSec!) of the Lincoln Elementary School PTA, taking down in detail the conversations and events that will, with the passing of a day, become PTA history. One thing Mr. History Professor taught me about history – a little re-writing doesn’t hurt.” “Doesn’t miss a nuance or an irony. I found myself wanting to send it to all my friends. It’s the mommy version of Bridget Jones’ Diary!” – Kyle Redford, Teacher and Mother  “Witty and utterly original! I laughed out loud all the way through.” – Leslie Urdang, Film Producer “Delightful! Completely successful in creating a bizarre world filled with fresh and hilarious characters.” – Alex Graves, Film & Television Director  “Don’t believe a word of this! You’ll be hearing from my attorney!” – PTA President LolaBy  “I should really be President. Trust me, she stuffed the ballot box – not to mention her bustier.” – 4th V.P. Amee Gable  “Where’s the party?” – Dads Club
