Summary:

Since its publication in 2000, Strategies That Work has become an indispensable resource for teachers who want to explicitly teach thinking strategies so that students become engaged, thoughtful, independent readers. In this revised and expanded edition, Stephanie and Anne have added twenty completely new comprehension lessons, extending the scope of the book and exploring the central role that activating background knowledge plays in understanding. Another major addition is the inclusion of a section on content literacy which describes how to apply comprehension strategies flexibly across the curriculum. The new edition is organized around four sections:

Part I highlights what comprehension is and how to teach it, including the principles that guide practice, a review of recent research, and a new section on assessment. A new chapter, Tools for Active Literacy: The Nuts and Bolts of Comprehension Instruction, describes ways to engage students in purposeful talk through interactive read alouds, guided discussion and written response.
Part II contains lessons and practices for teaching comprehension. A new first chapter emphasizes the importance of teaching students to monitor their understanding before focusing on specific strategies. Five lessons on monitoring provide a sound basis for launching comprehension instruction. At the end of each strategy chapter, the authors outline learning goals and ways to assess students' thinking, sharing examples of student work, and offering suggestions for differentiating instruction.
Part III, Comprehension Across the Curriculum is new. Comprehension strategies are essential for content-area reading, where information can be challenging, and presented in unfamiliar formats. This section includes chapters on social studies and science reading, topic study research, textbook reading and the genre of test reading.
Part IV shows that kids need books they can sink their teeth into and the updated appendix section recommends a rich diet of fiction and nonfiction, short text, kid's magazines, websites and journals that will assist teachers as they plan and design comprehension instruction

Through its focus on instruction that is responsive to kids' interests and learning needs, the first edition of Strategies That Work helped transform comprehension instruction for teachers across the country. For them, this new edition will be a welcome extension of that work. Those coming to it for the first time will find a current and essential resource. When readers use these strategies, they enjoy a more complete, thoughtful reading experience. Engagement is the goal. When kids are engaged in their reading they enhance their understanding, acquire knowledge, and learn from and remember what they read. And best yet, they will want to read more!

Great book - Good shape - Awesome price

Customer Rating:  3 out of 5 stars 

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

Teaching Comprehension Strategies

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

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.

Strategies That Work

Customer Rating:  4 out of 5 stars 

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.

Great ideas

Customer Rating:  4 out of 5 stars 

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.
