About this title

Synopsis

Teach children to read deeply with the help of this powerful new book filled with classroom-tested, research-based strategies written in a clear and friendly style. The first part discusses the strategies and structures readers need to comprehend text—and the changes those readers experience as they move up the primary grades. The second part shows strategy instruction in action, in real classrooms, by master teachers. The third part focuses on how planning, organization, and management support instruction. It's all here.
