About this title

Synopsis

Research shows that graphic organizers boost students' comprehension and retention of text. These motivating and purposeful organizers, games, and activities guide students to identify and explore character, plot, setting, and theme as they respond to the books they read. Before- and after-reading discussion ideas encourage students to predict, compare and contrast, use context clues, infer, and to build other key comprehension skills. Includes suggested book lists.
