Why You Need a Playbook
Just as an athletic coach operates from a tried-and-true book of plays, teachers need their own playbook for developing readers who can comprehend text independently.
This reading comprehension book provides what teachers have long requested — an explicit, yearlong scaffold of mini-lessons to teach the comprehension skills required by today’s rigorous standards.
The compilation of “plays” included in The Comprehension Playbook teaches students to:
Ask & answer questions.
Compare texts and experiences.
Our strategies to teach reading comprehension are available for Grades K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7-12 as well as bundles for Grades K-5 and K-12.
