I’ve just read all 3 of Cris Tovani’s books, I’m half way through Mosaic of Thought 2nd edition and I’ve read some of Reading Strategies. I’m very excited to begin implementing the things I’ve been learning in my homeschool. My 12thgrade son scores high to very high on standardized tests(PSAT, ACT, SAT), but I know that his comprehension is not what it should be. When he saw the book, *I Read it But I don’t Get it, * he said, “That is the story of my life”. He was mostly trying to be cute, but there was definitely an element of truth in what he said. I don’t want to overdo the reading strategies and kill either the flow of reading or the joy of reading. Do you have your students write something every day that shows the reading strategies they used? Do they ever just read? What have you found to be a good balance? I’m thinking particularly about literature, though I plan to implement practicing the strategies in all subjects as needed.
