srebm5 Posts: 3	I would highly suggest "Strategies That Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement" Written by S. Harvey and A. Goudvis. It has many strategies throughout the text, including strategies for both fiction and non-fiction. It can be a little overwhelming though. I would suggest picking a couple at a time, trying them out bit by bit. There are more strategies than you know what to do with! Fantastic resource though!

"Mosaic of Thought Teaching Comprehension in a Reader's Workshop" by Ellin Oliver Keene and Susan Zimmermann. 3. "The Cafe Book Engaging All Students in Daily Literacy Assessment & Instruction" by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser 'The Sisters.' I sure hope these books can help you. Have a great year this year!

brettjackbg Posts: 5	"The Sisters" books by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser are awesome. Expecially because they focus on working on independence and give lessons word for word how to go about setting up procedures and expectations. 7 Keys to Comprehension - How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get It! by Susan Zimmermann and Chryse Hutchins is great and is written for both parents and teachers. Last, "Interactive Read-Alouds - Linking Standards, Fluency, and Comprehension" by Linda Hoyt.

mjj Posts: 3	If you are looking for a professional book then I would recommend the "Cafe" by the Sisters or "Mosiac of Thought". If you are looking for professional type information the Sisters also have a great website that is full of information that supports the teaching of strategies to children. It even has great parents handouts to explain the handouts. If you are looking for a book to read to children the I would suggest "The Two of Them by Aliki". This book is great for working on connections and the children can make predictions and you can have them infer about what is going to happen and why. Good luck.
