Nancy Atwell

A few weeks ago, someone on the K-12 Digital Fabrication Google Group pointed out that there are some similarities between teaching making and teaching reading. There was a conversation about the "whole language" movement from the 1980s as well as Nancy Atwell and Laura Robb's Reading Workshop model of teaching reading. I knew nothing about this, so it peaked my curiosity and I purchased Robb's, Teaching Reading in the Middle School.
