OverviewThe activities in the book are organized around six automatic habits of reading comprehension that help proficient readers actively construct meaning as they read: Organizing text information by sculpting the main idea and summarizing; Accessing and using background knowledge; Making inferences and predictions; Generating and answering questions; Understanding word meanings; Monitoring comprehension; The chapters define and describe the habits, then provide activities that you can use to strengthen students' use of the habits. Each activity offers a brief description of the activity's purpose and a step-by-step procedure for putting it into place. Most activities offer reproducible graphic organizers and variations on the activities.
