Practical Reading Strategies introduces teachers to six highly
effective strategies that every reader can use when grappling with
texts. Using a range of engaging classroom activities, teachers can
guide students through the strategies of Making Connections,
Visualising, Questioning, Inferring, Summarising and Synthesising. These
will ultimately help students grasp meaning and gain understanding in
what they read.
The variety of activities focus on close reading, working in pairs,
group work and class discussions. Each contains instructions for
teachers and students, along with clear examples and the underlying
theory behind them.
Practical Reading Strategies is a valuable tool for all teachers to
develop confidence in building their students' ability and enthusiasm to
read and understand.
