If you have read 7 Keys this is the next book you need to own. Comprehension Connections takes the 7 keys and creates anchor lessons to share with your students at the beginning of each of your units. This is another essential book to have to create students that are deep thinkers across content areas.
Picture: In the picture to the right, two students put on their "visualizing glasses" before they read to see their mental images. In Comprehension Connections, McGregor makes visualising tubes out of toilet paper rolls. I just modified the concept.
Synopsis (Barnes and Noble)
Inferring, questioning, determining importance. It's not easy to explain these abstract reading strategies to elementary readers, yet knowing how they work and how to use them is an important first step to connecting with texts. Fortunately Tanny McGregor has developed visual, tangible, everyday lessons that make abstract thinking concrete and that can help every child in your classroom make more effective use of reading comprehension strategies.
