Donalyn Miller's The Book Whisperer advocates for fostering lifelong readers by creating a classroom environment that emphasizes reading freedom and student choice. Drawing from her experiences as a sixth-grade teacher, Miller encourages students to read widely and find personal meaning in books. The book offers strategies for motivating students, understanding different types of readers, and integrating independent reading into the curriculum. Miller critiques traditional practices like whole-class novels and reading logs, advocating for methods that cultivate a love for reading. She also provides lists of recommended books and sample surveys, emphasizing that teachers should prioritize nurturing a passion for reading over test preparation.
