All To Read, Elaine McEwan provides a great discussion of the most
current reading research regarding how students learn to read so
educators can make informed decisions about instruction. Research
about reading has given us insight into the skills on which we need
to focus our efforts to improve reading and comprehension. Now we
can identify the skills that require reinforcement and intervene
with explicit, thoughtful instruction. The activities in The
Reading Puzzle series will help the teacher accomplish this
goal.The Reading Puzzle series provides instructional tools
teachers can use immediately as part of the reading curriculum. The
Reading Puzzle series contains 10 books for Kindergarten through
Grade 8 centered on the skills identified by the National Reading
Panel as critical to reading success. Each of these books in the
series helps unlock one piece of the reading puzzle and contains

reading instruction in grades K-3 is not only to enable students to
read fluently and independently, but most importantly, to read with
comprehension. By understanding what they've read, students are
better able to remember, communicate, and apply the information
they've gained through reading. This book addresses the strategies
that proficient readers need in order to unlock the meaning of
written material. These includeActivating prior knowledgeMaking

for the teacher to model the strategies. The scaffold approach of
'I do it, We do it, You do it' enables students to develop into
independent readers. Other ideas and tools in this book include
graphic organizers, visual prompts, and activities to engage and
stimulate young readers. Finally, reading comprehension empowers
students, giving them the ability to explore virtually any topic or
subject in which they are interested. This book can help the
teacher instill the joy of reading, which in turn can lead to a
lifetime of fulfillment and success.
