Finally! A truly hands-on resource that helps you achieve reading success with all of the students in your classroom — no matter what their reading level is, no matter how well they comprehend now, and no matter how motivated they are to read — all while helping you meet the added pressure for achieving standards and raising test scores!

With this new resource as your guide, you see how to improve reading comprehension by applying proven teaching strategies commonly known as the "good reader" research (Pearson et al.). The strategies, which Oczkus refers to as the "Super Six," include Building Background and Making Connections; Predicting/Inferring; Questioning; Monitoring; Summarizing/Synthesizing, and Evaluating.

You see how to bring the "Super Six" to your students through motivating lessons you can use with any materials. Lori Oczkus introduces each strategy in the first chapter and then she follows it up by devoting a full chapter apiece to each strategy, along with illustrative descriptions, overviews, lesson plans, blackline masters, classroom vignettes, and more. Everything you need to make the strategies work!
