About the Book

As a supplement for elementary reading methods courses. This text incorporates the strongest and most current research available to help teachers actively involve their students in the reading comprehension process. Teachers receive expert guidance in a step-by-step format that clearly states and fully illustrates each of the 50 strategies. It delivers “must have” information that enables teachers to assess their students' current strategies. Teachers can easily access appropriate strategies for specific teaching objectives due to the way the text is organized in six sections, which address five comprehension processes and assessment.
