I found it to be an amazing book. As I was reading it, I had wished that my teachers - many many year ago had thought about reading in the ways Debbie Miller discusses. I was a struggling reader all through school especially in the area of comprehension. Now, as a reading specialist, I have recommended her book to many of the teachers I work with. What I find - especially in kindergarten - reading has become all about decoding and not about meaning. There seems to be such a rush for kids to "read", that taking time to think about and discuss meaning is put on the back burner. I will definitely check out your other two recommendations.
