Revue de presse

Beverly J. Boulware, The University of Texas at Arlington

My students have found the Yopp and Yopp book very practical. It is a text they often choose to keep rather than sell back to the university bookstore. Former students have shared with me they use text often and integrate the strategies in their teaching of literature.

 

This book is one that provides quick and easy strategies that my students can use and connect to literature they plan to use in their classrooms.

 

Patricia Hewitt, University of Tennessee, Martin

This is a great book! I would very definitely use it to supplement my regular text because of the great reading activities and ideas.

 

The writing is very appropriate and is easy to sue. I think any pre-service teacher would be comfortable with the format and activities. I can see this book on their teacher resource shelves when they are in the classroom with their own class. It seems to be a valuable resource for them and probably will be one they keep to refer back to during their teaching.

 

All of what is asked in their questions are very useful. Students (at least mine) are appreciative of examples of activities they can immediately implement in their classrooms. The book without those materials would be useless. These are the kinds of things I incorporate into all of my content area methods courses. I model these things for my students so they know how they look and how they should and can be used.

 

The book really gives a lot of good examples for my student to look at. Their main question to me when I assign a project is “Do you have one I could look at?” This book provides that. It is not lacking in examples and lots of ideas for use in the regular classroom. I can see it as a valuable resource for special education teachers also who need ideas for activities to engage their students in reading.

 

Dixie Kelly, Sam Houston State University

I think it is a great book with some wonderful activities for a teacher to use not only in an English/Language Arts/ Reading class, but also in the content area classes.  I found excellent activities that could be used in the upper grades as well.
