She currently teaches and consults in schools and districts across the country, demonstrating and leading workshops. She continues to speak to educators around the country and around the world. Educators praise Regie Routman's works for giving a thorough, theory-based understanding of language learning as well as a variety of practical ideas and tools.
She writes in an enthusiastic, conversational, practical, and honest tone based on her daily classroom experiences. Transitions: From Literature to Literacy (Heinemann, 1988) was Regie's first book, and it has aided numerous elementary teachers in their transition to literature-based education and more meaning-centered approaches. Invitation: Evolving as Teachers and Learners K-12 (Heineman, 1991 and 1994), her follow-up book, has proven to be an inspirational, helpful, and thorough resource for teachers of all grades. Literacy at the Crossroads: Critical Conversation About Reading, Writing, and Other Educational Dilemmas (Heinemann, 1996) is her most recent work.
This book was created to clarify concerns, offer specific solutions, and provide urgency for taking action to make a genuine impact in our schools as calls for a return to basic education have gotten louder. Conversations: Techniques for Teaching, Learning, and Assessing, her most recent work, will be published by Heinemann in autumn 1999.
