DVD-Think Nonfiction!: Modeling Reading and Research
by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis

(3-8)
This DVD focuses on comprehension strategies for gaining information--specifically noticing new learning, asking questions, and determining importance. You`ll watch Stephanie and Anne teach alongside Barb Smith as Barb launches a nonfiction study and helps kids learn how to read for information, choose a topic, and do research.
Stephanie does a mini-lesson to model how she stops and thinks when she encounters new information as she reads. Anne and Barb demonstrate how they read as partners and respond to new information. Then all three are shown moving about the room conferring with kids as they read a nonfiction article and use these strategies.
The study guide includes extensive lesson ideas for a nonfiction course of study and offers a step-by-step approach to guiding research with kids` own topics.
