"I Read It, but I Don't Get It" is a practical, engaging account of
how teachers can help adolescents develop new reading comprehension
skills. Cris Tovani is an accomplished teacher and staff developer
who writes with verve and humor about the challenges of working
with students at all levels of achievement--from those who have
mastered the art of "fake reading" to college-bound juniors and
seniors who struggle with the different demands of content-area
textbooks and novels.
Enter Cris' classroom, a place where students are continually
learning new strategies for tackling difficult text. You will be
taken step-by-step through practical, theory-based reading
instruction that can be adapted for use in any subject area. The
book features:
- anecdotes in each chapter about real kids with real universal
problems. You will identify with these adolescents and will see how
these problems can be solved;
- a thoughtful explanation of current
theories of comprehension instruction and how they might be adapted
for use with adolescents;
- a What Works section in each of the last seven chapters that
offers simple ideas you can immediately employ in your classroom.
The suggestions can be used in a variety of content areas and grade
levels(6-12);
- teaching tips and ideas that benefit struggling readers as well
as proficient and advanced readers;
- appendixes with reproducible materials that you can use in your
classroom, including coding sheets, double entry diaries, and
comprehension constructors.
In a time when students need increasingly sophisticated reading
skills, this book will provide support for teachers who want to
incorporate comprehensioninstruction into their daily lesson plans
without sacrificing content knowledge.
