This content comes from Shelfari, the editable book encycopedia:

Gretchen, upon having the realization that she may not be truly happy with her life, embarks on a year-long journey to correct it. Each month, she targets one facet of happiness with resolutions and daily practices that cultivate her notion of a 'happy life'. An inspiring book, Rubin chronicles her struggles and successes without preaching, suggests small changes without condescension, and takes you along with her on her journey to find her own meaning of 'hapiness.' || @http://www.happiness-project.com/

//Comprehension Through Conversation// is a practical guide to comprehension, conversation, and collaboration. Maria Nichols invites you to listen in on reading workshops where purposeful book talk leads students to deeper understandings of fiction, nonfiction, and the world beyond. Moving forward from the widely understood concept that exchanging ideas builds students’ comprehension, Nichols shows you specific ways to use conversation as a scaffolding that bridges prior knowledge to more advanced reading skills and techniques as well as to big ideas such as themes. Her useful ideas for conversations begin with lesson designs that use read-alouds to spark discussions, lead to suggestions for units of study that support children as they read progressively more complex texts, and ultimately build toward fully independent reading and thinking. || Nichols, Maria.

This book provides the key to helping your students become enthusiastic and confident readers. In the described approach, no roles are used and no limits are set on the amount students read. Students choose books from an thoughtfully pre-arranged set, engage in meaningful conversations about their books with their peers, keep response journals, and work biweekly on a whole-class comprehension strategy. You will find:
 * steps for establishing Literature Circles in your classroom
 * strategies and ideas for building purposeful discussion groups
 * practical techniques that help students select books
 * comprehensive book lists
 * tips and criteria to help students write insightful personal responses
 * suggestions for assessing and evaluating student work in Literature Circles || Fielding, Linda, and David Pearson. [|"Reading Comprehension: What Works."] //Educational Leadership// 51.5 (February 1994)
