A Teacher's Guide to Mentor Texts, K-5: The Classroom Essentials Series 1st Edition

This new book from conferring expert Carl Anderson is a gift to elementary teachers. He takes teachers through the process of how to find and use mentor texts, while at the same time showing clear examples of mentor texts that he recommends. He opens up possibilities for how to conduct mentor text inquiries in the classroom. This book is both inspirational and practical. I recommend it to teachers, coaches, librarians and administrators.

Carl Anderson all but admits he has no real understanding of the material he’s writing about in this book. If he said “craft moves” one more time I was going to take the book and throw it out the window. What craft moves would those be? You don’t know bc you don’t understand the subject. You’re just trying to make a buck. Terrible book. Total Garbage.
