This book is wonderful. I am a Literacy Coach and I used this for the seminar group. It is a great tool to use for brand new teachers. The lessons and activities are practical and engaging. The language used is kid friendly. A "must own" for anyone who teaches comprehension strategies in any subject area.

It has so many concrete examples of teaching reading strategies. I have never seen students understand such abstract ideas such as inferencing so quickly! I have shared the lessons with different grade levels and her lessons are spreading throughout the building!

To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII The website www.fcrr.org (The Florida Center for Reading Research) has a lot of center activities for comprehension, vocab. etc... for all ages. If you click on the "For Teacher" section and look under the Curriculum and Instruction heading you will find "K-1 Student Center Activities". They also have activities for higher grades.
