Comprehension [Grades K-12]: The Skill, Will, and Thrill of Reading

by Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, Nicole V. Law

Book Overview

Radically change the way students learn from texts, extending beyond comprehension to critical reasoning and problem solving.

Comprehension proposes a new, comprehensive model of reading instruction that goes beyond teaching skills to fostering engagement and motivation. Using a structured, three-pronged approach--skill, will, and thrill--students learn to experience reading as a purposeful act and embrace struggle as a natural part of the reading process. Instruction occurs in three phases:

- Skill. Holistically developing skills and strategies necessary for students to comprehend text.

- Will. Creating the mindsets, motivations, and habits necessary to engage fully with texts.

- Thrill. Fostering the thrill of comprehension and using the knowledge for something else.
