Reading Power - 2nd Edition by Adrienne Gear (Paperback)

About the Book

Teaching students to think while they read.

Book Synopsis

This ground-breaking approach to reading comprehension shows teachers how to help students think while they read: connect, question, visualize, infer, and transform. Since the publication of the first edition of Reading Power, Adrienne Gear has continued to reflect on and refine her ideas about metacognition, comprehension instruction, and the Reading Power strategies. This new edition shares these new understandings, and offers teachers new ideas, new lessons, and, of course, new anchor books to support the Reading Power principles. An ideal resource for teachers familiar to this strategic approach, or for those looking for new ways to connect thinking with reading.
