In their follow-up to `Reading Wellness, Jan Burkins and Kim Yaris
explore how some traditional scaffolding practices may actually rob
students of important learning opportunities and independence.
`Who's Doing the Work? suggests ways to make small but powerful
adjustments to instruction that hold students accountable for their
own learning.~~Educators everywhere are concerned about students
whose reading development inexplicably plateaus, as well as those
who face challenging texts without applying the strategies they've
been taught. When such problems arise, our instinct is to do more.
But when we summarize text before reading or guide students when
they encounter difficult words, are we leading them to depend on
our support? If we want students to use strategies independently,
Jan and Kim believe that we must question the ways our scaffolding
is getting in the way.~~Next generation reading instruction is
responsive to students' needs, and it develops readers who can
integrate reading strategies without prompting from instructors. In
`Who's Doing The Work?, Jan and Kim examine how instructional
mainstays such as read-aloud, shared reading, guided reading, and
independent reading look in classrooms where students do more of
the work. Classroom snapshots at the end of each chapter help
translate the ideas in the book into practice.~~`Who's Doing the
Work? offers a vision for adjusting reading instruction to better
align with the goal of creating independent, proficient, and joyful
readers.
