Reading power : teaching students to think while they read

Summary: "When first published, Reading Power offered a groundbreaking approach to helping students think while they read--connect, question, visualize, infer, and transform. Since that publication, author Adrienne Gear has continued to reflect on and refine her understanding of metacognition, comprehension instruction, and the reading power strategies. This revised and expanded edition of a long-time bestseller, Adrienne shares these new understandings, and offers teachers new ideas, new lessons, and of course, new anchor books to support the Reading Power approach."
