Dr. Jan Richardson's book will be out Spring 2009.  The title is The Next Step 
in Guided Reading: Teaching with Power and Purpose.  She has permission to sell 
the draft copy of the book.  The cost is $30.00.  You can email Jan if you are 
interested at [EMAIL PROTECTED] She is a reading specialist from Virginia.  She 
has been working with many schools around the country over the years.  The book 
includes planning sheets to help keep your reading lesson focused.  The book is 
very teacher friendly and clearly written.  The strategies in the book work for 
K-5.  The comprehension strategies could be used beyond that for instruction.  
Students we have who are reading above 5th grade are continuing to make 
progress at the higher levels.

 She has worked with my school for the past four years.  Since we began using 
her plan for guided reading our test scores are improving every year.  We moved 
from about 86% proficient or advances in 2005 to 95% proficient or advanced in 
2007.   This years scores are embargoed by the state until the fall so I can't 
publish them.  I can say that they have once again improved significantly.  The 
plan works for all kids.
