"With Reading for Meaning, there is no more of the ′in one eye, out the other′ type of reading that so many students are guilty of, because this approach fosters students′ active engagement before, during, and after reading. Students exposed to this method over time internalize reading strategies that are essential for making meaning from complex text. In short, Reading for Meaning helps students learn from their textbooks while it prepares them to learn for life."
―Nancy Spaniak, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Professional Development
Homewood-Flossmoor High School District 233, IL
