Strategies That Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement
ISBN:9781571104816 read summary

While not in pristine shape the price can't be beat. It reads just the same and I appreciate the rapid response.

I absolutely love this book! It is one of the best strategies instruction books I have ever owned. I bought it to enhance my instructional strategies repertoire. The table of contents is well written. It is not full of jargon. It is well organized and easy to read. The initial forward contains a list of strategies and their use. The strategies are described and explain with the use of concrete examples. This makes is so easy to search for a strategy. For example, the making connections concept has over six different strategies that can be used with students. They are formated in the form of lessons so you don't have to rewrite the book to apply the strategy. Each strategy has a rational, guided practice, resources, and authentic work samples. Chapter 12 has an assessment component for assessing comprehension.

I got this book for a class. It was very informational. It is text heavy, so there isn't a lot of charts and graphs. The vignette were really useful to make the text applicable to a classroom. I think the price could have been a little lower though. It was only a couple of dollars cheaper then my bookstore price.

The ideas I got from this book were remarkable. Very easily integrated into the classroom for any grade.
Authors worked together nicely and came up with an easy to read and interesting teaching book.

This was purchased for college Spring 2010 semester. Instructor said was a very good book. I'll know this spring.
