{"product_id":"9781571103109","title":"STRATEGIES THAT WORK","description":"A child may be a great decoder, but that's only one step toward becoming a fluent reader. Reading implies thinking and understanding, and teachers can help children develop strategies for comprehension. Children need to know how to make connections and ask questions, how to visualize and infer, how to extract important ideas and to synthesize information if they are to become fluent readers. Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis show how teachers can model these strategies by thinking aloud and coding the text, lifting text onto the overhead and reasoning through it in class discussions, and bringing in their own books to model how adults use these strategies. All the while teachers give students long blocks of time to practice these strategies independently in their own reading.  \u003cp\u003eFull of practical suggestions to help students think when they read, \u003ci\u003eStrategies That Work\u003c\/i\u003e gives teachers:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003emore than forty K-8 strategy lessons for understanding text;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eways to use short text, such as picture books, newspapers, magazines, and poetry to teach comprehension;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eideas for choosing books that promote thinking and discussion;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esuggestions to better comprehend text in social studies, science, and other content areas;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea wide range of authentic response options that promote engagement and enable students to monitor their own comprehension;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexamples of student work, illustrations, scripts of conversations, and a complete assessment interview to demonstrate and evaluate students' use of strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003cp\u003eKey features of \u003ci\u003eStrategies That Work\u003c\/i\u003e are the Appendixes that include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003ean authoritative bibliography of content-area text sets on the most common curricular topics in history, science, the arts, and literacy;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea list of favorite books teachers choose for introducing and guiding students in the practice of a given strategy;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea list of professional journals that review books for classroom use and a list of great young adult magazines;   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea selection of response options, homework suggestions, and authentic charts arranged by strategy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrategies That Work\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on instruction that is responsive to kids' interests and learning needs.
