Empowering Learners offers literacy teachers a rich array of strategies and resources for helping their students interrogate and understand texts. It encourages teachers to put readers in an active role by connecting reading and writing through journaling, writing to learn, and conversing through writing with their peers. In addition, students are encouraged to use talking and listening, pair-share, open class discussions and literature circles to unlock texts they encounter. The emphasis on both individual exploration and collaborative work is one of the real strengths of this resource. The authors offer detailed examples and discussions of these strategies, as well as a multitude of other resources to extend or adapt to individual classrooms. Empowering Learners is a carefully researched, clearly articulated resource to which teachers will often return.
