Teaching Comprehension in the Primary Grades

Reading with Meaning

Losing a child has been described as the worst kind of loss anyone could possibly go through. Doctors can fix broken bones and therapy can bring healing.....but the "loss of a child" breaks the heart! For a broken heart, all there is....is time...and a search for answers. Debbie doesn't have all the answers for you. She just prays that as you begin this journey with her, that you find your own healing. "What do you say to the person, who has lost a child?" You simply tell them that they can think about their son or daughter as much as they want to; that they can cry as much as they want to; and most important that they are not alone!" God has given Debbie the gift of writing that she would like to share with others. Many people write books and tell their story of one kind or another, but very few people tell the whole brutal truth. Debbie Miller is an exception! This remarkable book takes the reader on a dramatic journey into the depths of a mother's broken heart, and deep into her soul. It is a story of pain and blood and great loss! It is not a beautiful story, but it is her story, and the story and legacy of her son Michael.

Through a Mother's Eyes... I Gave Birth to an Angel

Defining Beliefs, Aligning Practice, Taking Action, K-5

Teaching with Intention

What if... Every year, beloved teacher and author Debbie Miller commits to trying something new. She asks a "beautiful question" that pushes her to see new possibilities and put children at the center of her teaching. She asks, "What if we did it this way?" "When we do, we're present in our teaching," she says. "We're strong enough to set aside judgment and discomfort and choose to focus on how to make things better." In What's the Best That Could Happen?, Debbie confronts a challenge all teachers face: the feeling of being stuck and the fear of trying something new. She explores how questions help us look beyond the limitations of what we've done and discover powerful new opportunities for teaching and learning. Each chapter digs into a question about teaching from Debbie's work with teachers and children across the country: What if each day's teaching focused on children's agency? What if we made what children make and do our priority? What if our classroom environment and routines offered choice? What if we owned the units we're asked to teach? What if read aloud sustained children's independent thinking? You'll find practical insights and critical understandings that will benefit you and your children. More importantly, you'll learn to ask your own beautiful questions, grapple with the messiness that surfaces, and find answers that inspire something new and worthy in your teaching.

Cat Diary

2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Finalist in Nature The 2.1 million acres (equivalent to Yellowstone National Park) of the wilderness study area are coming under increasing threat by resource development Essays of personal explorations of the region by an award-winning writer are accompanied by dramatic images from an award-winning photographer The wilderness study area is home to the largest concentration of tidewater glaciers in America and hosts a vast diversity of terrestrial and aquatic mammals, birds, and fish It's been said that "a picture is worth a thousand words," and nowhere is that more true than on the pages ofA Wild Promise: Prince William Sound. The images of photographer Hugh Rose show you what this region holds--and what will be lost without protection from future resource development. Alongside Hugh's images are eloquent essays covering the natural and cultural history, people, and fragility of this region by noted Alaskan writer Debbie Miller. Alaska's famed Prince William Sound includes more than 3,000 shore land miles of bays, coves, and deep fjords topped by the ice-capped peaks of the Chugach Mountains. More than 1 million tourists visit the region annually, and small family-owned fishing boats, ecotourism, oyster farms, and guide services provide sustainable livelihoods for year-round Alaskan residents. Many Americans first came to know of Prince William Sound through the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989--a catastrophe with lingering long-term effects, such the collapse of the once abundant herring population, a critical fish in the marine food chain. InA Wild Promise, readers travel alongside Hugh and Debbie as they hike and kayak from Columbia Glacier to College Fiord, exploring the Nellie Juan-College Fjord Wilderness Study Area, a region set aside for study in 1980, to be followed--it was hoped--by permanent protection from Congress. After almost four decades of being in limbo as a designated wilderness study area, the fate of this spectacular, wild place is now in our hands. Its protection is a gift we can offer generations to come--a promiseof wilderness, beauty, and natural diversity that we can, indeed, keep.
