Reading to Live: How to Teach Reading for Today’s World
Buy this book from Lorraine for $57.70 
In 'Reading to Live' Lorraine makes a strong case for integrated, holistic, reading programs, debunking the belief in one- size-fits-all instruction and taking us inside classrooms to demonstrate progressive, meaning-centred teaching.
She offers easy-to-use strategies that build upon the life experiences and language that children bring with them to school. Most importantly she expands upon the reading practices of Luke and Freebody’s Four Resources Model – code breaker, text participant, text user, and text analyst – and details many techniques for developing these practices through holistic integrated learning.

READ TO LIVE
They say,
we are what we eat.
I say,
we are what we read.
Think for a moment.
List all you have read
this past week.
Your list tells about
your work
your home
your family
your friends
your worries
your dreams
your hobbies
your passions
your compassion.
Your list tells about you.
I say,
we are
what we read.
We read to live.
