Отрывок из книги

“The power of intriguing texts, purposeful reading, and development of independence in reading are the keystones of this book. Teachers will find guidance on how to snag the interest of middle school students with content texts especially written by David Harrison and woven into compelling lessons by Laura Robb. The authors provide teachers with a powerhouse of lessons that nudge students along in becoming independent readers who can infer, summarize, discern cause and effect, and much more. Not only will students gain skill in reading, but they will also have multiple opportunities to write, discuss, and broaden their vocabulary. An outstanding resource!”

—Mary Jo Fresch, PhD, professor emeritus at the College of Education and Human Ecology, The Ohio State University

.....

Proficient and advanced readers continually use rereading to savor favorite parts of texts, to clarify meaning, and improve recall and comprehension. The guided practice lessons in this book invite students to choral or independently whisper read selections or read silently along with you as well as reread pieces to develop fluency and deepen their comprehension of vocabulary and information. When developing readers continually practice reading and rereading, they begin to read with the fluency and expression, which signal understanding and depth of comprehension.

Student partners discuss pictures and text to deepen comprehension.
