Reading Power: Teaching Students to Think While They Read, Second Edition. Revised and Expanded
Gear, Adrienne
Stenhouse Publishers
Since "Reading Power" was launched ten years ago in an elementary school in Vancouver, it has evolved into a recognized approach to comprehension instruction being implemented across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and China. This groundbreaking approach shows teachers how to help students think while they read--connect, question, visualize, infer, and transform. In this revised edition, Adrienne Gear refines her understanding of metacognition, comprehension instruction, and the Reading Power strategies and also offers teachers new ideas, new lessons, and of course, new anchor books to support the Reading Power lessons. This is an ideal resource for teachers familiar with the Reading Power approach or those looking for new ways to connect thinking with reading.
