About this title

Synopsis

Read and Retell details a simple and easy-to prepare strategy that teachers can use in the whole language classroom. Brown and Cambourne have found that the retelling procedure is an excellent holistic way to help learners gain control of various genres they are reading and a powerful technique for assessing children's comprehension of texts and evaluating their control of language. Their book provides thirty-eight texts in a range of descriptive, persuasive, argumentative, explanatory, and instructive writing with detailed instructions for their use in the retelling context.
