ONE OF THE BEST EDUCATIONAL BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ

This is a totally fantastic book. It is written so well and in a down to earth fashion that I couldn't put it down. It was as easy to read as my favorite novel. Most importantly, however, it clearly explained how the best learning takes place. The strategies in this book hit every facet of learning as described by American Psychiatry. Put a study of this book together with a study of how our memory works, and you can't help but understand better how to teach, as well as clearly understand why other strategies have only limited success. This is a book that will stay on my desk and be read and studied over and over again. My thanks to the authors.

I love this book!

I've had this book on my shelf for 4 years and have decided to use this book, along with Reading Strategies that work by Laura Robb to enhance my reader's workshop with my third graders. You have to own this book because it gives great teaching tips on how to teach comprehension. My favorite part are the lists at the back of the book which have book to help teach a strategy and ideas on how to teach response (discussion, writing, etc)using each strategy.

Great Practical Resource

This book provides lesson plans to use with specific trade books to model comprehension strategies with your students. The authors are staff developers who model the gradual release of responsibility format with students of different grade levels. I definately recommend the appendix which sorts books by topic and strategy.

Best comprehension book on the market

This is an insightful book with regards to teaching reading comprehension. I believe it truly focuses on the differences between comprehension skills needed during reading and comprehension skills students use for application. I would recommend this book to anyone.
