What cognitive strategies do readers use to support their comprehension? What instructional routines can teachers use to support comprehension instruction? And what might the future hold for comprehension instruction? Each article is supplemented with Questions for Reflection, and recommendations for additional resources - from further readings to online lesson plans to YouTube videos - are included. This book is ideal for use in teacher education or for group or individual professional development.The cornerstone of ""The IRA Library: Comprehension"" collection, it can be purchased alone or as part of that cost-saving package. |
