Summary: QRI4 very helpful for this busy teacher
... QRI4 was first introduced to me as I was getting my reading endorsement. My school is VERY into DIBLZ and does not offer the upper grades a DRA kit (not too unhappy about that given the length of each assessment) so I had to come up with a better assessment for my reading class. This tool is one of a few good resources for me (concepts of print is very good as well: Concepts About Print: What Have Children Learned About the Way We Print Language? and offers me a good idea of what I need to teach and what the students

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-01 Summary: Writer's POV ... I read this for a creative writing course. After reading many "handbooks" on writing over the past few years, I can say that this was the first that went beyond nuts and bolts issues of technique to provide a perspective on the writer's point of view itself as subject matter. It made me conscious of my reading process, and has changed how I read. I can see now that I used to read mainly for plot. Events and actions made immediate sense to me. Now I read for the pleasures of character and style as well. Prose does an ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-28 Summary: Reads like prose ... Love for literature can easily become an affectation. If a stranger or an acquaintance comes up to you and says something like "good literature can be appreciated down to every single word..." you'll probably dismiss the person as a pedantic-snobbish-pompous moron. When Francine Prose does it (with a better choice of words, of course), she makes you believe her and pay attention to her. She writes with such sincerity and candidness that you drop your cynicism and enjoy the ride as she exalts writers you do or don't ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-10 Summary: Reading Like A Writer by Francine Prose ... Reading Like A Writer is, as its title suggests, a guide to help the committed reader look closer to better detect and enjoy the countless tricks and subtleties writers painstakingly put into their work. It is divided up into chapters based on the categories that usually go into any story, such as Paragraphs, Narration, Character, etc. Each is gone into in minute yet accessible detail, with an example on every page letting you pause and examine the writer's skill and effectiveness. Prose's examples are both well known ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-21 Summary: Read this, and go back to the classics ... I'm only 60 pages into the paperback version, which I just bought a few days ago....and I can't wait to finish it, just so I can go re-read all the classics that I feared, like Moby Dick. Ironically I recently got half way through Moby Dick, and stopped out of boredom, and was just tired of reading the meandering plot. Upon completing Prose's book, I will return to Moby Dick, or perhaps start it all over again. It's like Francine Prose just showed me the "DaVinci Code" for books! I always wanted to read all of Charles ...more
Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose. In Reading Like a Writer , Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers—Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov—and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure...more

Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | In the late 1970s, instructors at the University of Pittsburgh recognized that students were entering the school unprepared for the rigors of academic life. The university’s response was to develop a course offering challenging material — readings requiring serious attention — along with a method of reading and rereading that helped students learn to read and think critically and respond in writing. That course proved enormously successful, and its materials and methods were published...more
