Originally produced by Stenhouse Publishers in 2006.

Literacy attendance is an alternative to the traditional attendance roll at the start of the day. Students have the option of sharing reading or writing activities from home when their name is called, and teachers gain insight into students' literacy behaviors in the home environment. The daily activity is scheduled for no more than ten minutes, and provides teachers with a wealth of insight into literacy learning beyond the classroom. About the author: Debbie Miller taught and learned from children in The Denver public schools for thirty years. Author of Reading with meaning: teaching comprehension in the primary grades, (Stenhouse, 2002) and the video series, Happy reading! and the Joy of conferring, Debbie now presents workshops and works extensively with schools and districts on long-range planning and development of literacy programs.
