Strategies for Comprehension, Grade 4 Building Active Readers

This innovative book bridges the gap between basal textbooks and supplemental workbooks. By drawing attention to the strategies students use behind the scenes, these lessons will help build confident readers who know how to get "unstuck" and construct meaning from text. The fourteen sections in this book each address a comprehension strategy recommended in the National Reading Panel Report. Every section begins with direct instruction in the strategy or skill, followed by stories that lead students through the instructional sequence: one page of skill modeling, two pages of guided practice, and a partner reading page for independent practice. This format, along with reproducible bookmarks and content-skill assessments, make this book the perfect comprehension teaching tool.Wheeler, Kathryn is the author of 'Strategies for Comprehension, Grade 4 Building Active Readers', published 2005 under ISBN 9780768230949 and ISBN 0768230942.
