It is not the number of good ideas that turns our work into art, but the selection, balance, coherence and design of those ideas (p. 4)." This articulates what I've sensed for some time and am finally beginning to understand after eight years of striving to help first graders become readers for life. Lucy Calkins built the foundation for elementary wiritng workshop and now has formed a vision for a reading workshop structure that, I believe, will endure. This book is for all elementary teachers who are about helping children create literatie lives. It is both inspiring and practical, heady and humble. Review: First Grade Teacher - I am a new first grade teacher and just finished reading [most of] this book during my summer break. It has given me so many new ideas and perspectives, fueled my imagination for how this year's reading curriculum will flow, and ignited my excitement for the coming school year! This book provides details on a student-directed, individualized outline for teaching reading that builds off of students' personal interests and desires. The main goal is for students to acquire a love for reading and become lifelong readers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,337,358 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,026 in Reading & Phonics Teaching Materials #9,889 in Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (81) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 1 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0321080599 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0321080592 | | Item Weight | 1.85 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 580 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2000 | | Publisher | Prentice Hall | ## Images ![The Art of Teaching Reading - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91SbTbnFDSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visionary! *by C***S on September 3, 2000* Calkins says, "The problem is that if our teaching is to be an art, we need an organizing vision that brings together all of these separate components into something graceful and vital and significant.

It has given me so many new ideas and perspectives, fueled my imagination for how this year's reading curriculum will flow, and ignited my excitement for the coming school year! This book provides details on a student-directed, individualized outline for teaching reading that builds off of students' personal interests and desires. The main goal is for students to acquire a love for reading and become lifelong readers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the book is an excellent resource *by S***E on October 19, 2013* Although this is an excellent resource book to use in the classroom I would advise paying the extra to get a new book from Amazon. I thought buying a used book from a vender through Amazon would be ok and have done it before to save a little money on school books. This vender said it was like new but when it came it had been wet and had mold all through it and it took a month to get it. So just check out the other venders very carefully. But the book itself was very helpful. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art of Teaching Reading - The Art of Teaching Writing - The Flynt/Cooter Comprehensive Reading Inventory-3: Assessment of K-12 Reading Skills in English and Spanish -- Teacher & Student Book Package --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7510679-the-art-of-teaching-reading](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7510679-the-art-of-teaching-reading) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
