Wonderful Resource!

Practical and very useful for a teacher who wants students to think strategically when reading. Great work!

WOW!

This book is SUPERB for K-8 or over teachers who REALLY want to get their students to understand the reading comprehension strategies. I use many of her techniques already (post its, read aloud, modeling) but the songs and chants have helped my reading workshop connect to writing workshop in very powerful ways! I have been a primary teacher for 21 years and always love reading and learning new approaches to promoting student meta cognition in all areas of learning. Adrienne has helped make my teaching more meaningful this year. Thanks for listening. Hope this helps! renee
