(K-8)
Reading comprehension is about much more than answering questions at the end of a story or chapter. In this four-tape video series, Harvey and Goudvis invite you to join them in classrooms where you will see explicit reading comprehension unfold. Applying the strategies found in their book, Strategies That Work, the teachers in these videotapes model thinking activities and give their kids ample time to practice so that their students can identify and use the strategies that proficient readers use when making sense of text. These 30-minute tapes cover:

• Creating a Culture of Thinking
• Modeling Questioning in a Reading Workshop
• Reading and Understanding Nonfiction
• Using Strategies to Enhance Book Club Discussions

Teachers can`t help benefiting from observing these talented teachers as they demonstrate strategies that can improve learning. Includes a Video Discussion Guide to enhance staff development usage.
(K-8) Four 30-min. videos plus Video Discussion Guide.
