This is an excellent book for teachers of literacy. Mem Fox has some radical ideas about the teaching of reading and writing. Her ideas are also easy to implement. This is an easy read that lets teachers know that teaching reading and writing shouldn't be so hard. It is important, she argues, that those of us who teach writing, be writers ourselves so that we are aware of our student's stuggles and frustrations. Another great piece of advice is that teachers take joy in their student's work and provide a much needed audience for our writers by responding with great enthusiasm. Give them a purpose for writing, reward their efforts and they will continue to write.
