From the founder of the internationally known Benchmark School, this
unique book presents a proven approach for helping struggling students
become fully engaged readers, learners, thinkers, and problem solvers.
Benchmark's research-based Interactive Learning Model is clearly
explained and illustrated with teacher-friendly, how-to-do-it examples.
Gaskins demonstrates ways to teach effective strategies for decoding
words and understanding concepts, and to give students the skills to
apply these strategies across the curriculum based on their individual
cognitive styles and the specific demands of the task at hand.
Comprehensive yet highly readable, the book includes quick-reference
charts and reproducible figures and activities that can be used in all
subject-matter areas, grades 1 through 8.
