Added to collection September 2007 compliments of the Department of Education.

An indispensible resource for teachers who want ot explicitly teaching thinking strategies so that students become engaged, thoughtful, independent readers. In this revised and expanded edition, the authors have added twenty completely new comprehension lessons, extending the scope of the book and exploring the central role that activating background knowledge plays in understanding. Another major addition is a section on content literacy that describes how to apply comprehension strategies flexibly across the curriculum.
