Think Big With Think Alouds, Grades K-5: A Three-Step Planning Process That Develops Strategic Readers

A think-aloud process that comes close to bottling magic

Grab a pencil, and you are on your way to dynamic lessons using Molly’s three-step planning process.

• Read Once: Go wild, putting a flurry of sticky notes on spots that strike you
• Read Twice: Whittle your notes down to the juiciest stopping points 
• Read Three Times: Jot down what you will say so there’s no need to wing it in front of the kids 

Molly helps you focus on just five strategies: asking questions, making inferences, synthesizing, understanding the author’s purpose, and monitoring and clarifying. Includes more than 20 ready-made think aloud scripts, activities, templates, and more.
