What It Is About: This book presents six reading strategies that will help our young readers become better and more engaged readers. These strategies foster how to read more closely and gain more from the text. The strategies are as follows...
1st: Contrasts and Contradictions
2nd: Aha Moments
3rd: Tough Questions
4th: Words of the Wiser
5th: Again and Again
6th: Memory Moment
What I Thought Of It: This was by far my favorite professional read of the summer. I'm looking forward to teaching my fourth graders these six strategies. They make such sense and I can see how they would assist readers in becoming better and "close" readers. The text was easy to read, follow, and understand how the strategies can be taught. I have found myself using the strategies as I do my own reading of middle-grade books and adult books.
Who Should Read It: Any teacher that works with children and their reading comprehension, needs to add this professional resource to their collection. I can see it working with elementary, middle-school, and high school readers. The teacher would just need to adapt it to their particular audience. Do yourself a favor and read it. Happy Reading!
