You won't find any busywork, condescending lectures, or boring worksheets in this book. Instead, you'll learn flexible reading strategies to blend into your lessons at the start of the school year that will support your students for years to come. This book also debunks old-school ideas about reading instruction and explains the concepts that you'll need to know as you help students build a foundation for their future as readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormer elementary teacher and instructional coach Ciera Harris has achieved remarkable, replicable results with young readers, not with a rigid system or program, but with a new approach to thinking about reading. In this book, you'll learn why it makes sense to go beyond all the lessons of phonics, fluency, and vocabulary by making reading personal to each student. This easy-to-use approach has helped teachers across the country create a culture of reading within their classrooms, so students—even those that struggle the most with reading—can start view themselves as readers. Help students learn based on what interests them, as individuals, and watch budding readers bloom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover why reading is not a series of decoding skills, but a personal, powerful act of thinking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the steps to setting up your classroom for reading success at the beginning of the year\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet engaging lesson plans and techniques for implementing primary reading strategies like schema, asking questions, metacognition, and so much more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOvercome common roadblocks, including student resistance to reading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eThe Thinking Reader,\u003c\/i\u003e elementary school teachers in grades 2-4 can build the ultimate framework for reading success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction xiii\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 What Reading Really Is 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Setting Up for Success 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The Reader’s Blueprint 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Reading and the Brain 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Schema: The Power of Perspective 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Curiosity: The Motivation Maximizer 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Metacognition: Inquiry and Independence 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Metacognitive Strategies for Success 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Talking (Meaningfully) About Texts 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Fostering Critical Thinking in the Classroom 327\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Building Persistence and Cultivating the Reader’s Mindset 373\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClosing 409\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 419\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Education [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Education\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Education%20%5BJN%5D%22\"\u003eJN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501187920152,"sku":"9781394276172","price":19.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781394276172.jpg?v=1786215837","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-thinking-reader-cultivating-critical-thinkers-in-the-classroom-paperback-softback-9781394276172","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
