About this title

From the Author:

This book reflects 25 years of working with children.
I would love to hear from you! The strategies in the book reflect the students I work with. I would love to know how the strategies work for you!

Synopsis:

How can we be certain that students are making sense of print? What can we do to improve comprehension? The author of this text is convinced that thoughtful reflection and retelling are the keys. When readers reflect upon and retell what they know about a text, they experience deeper levels of understanding and increased communicative competency. This practical collection of more than 130 strategies and 90 reproducibles is a resource aimed at teachers attempting to evoke high-quality responses to literature. It provides a detailed look at "why" to respond to text, "when" to respond to text and "how" readers might be invited to respond in authentic ways. All of the strategies are classroom tested, and the blackline masters offer powerful incentives for creative interactions.
