High Attention Reading offers a new way to get students of all
reading levels to independently read informational texts with more
effort, attention, and stamina. Hale argues that increasing the
number of informational texts children read is important but not
enough to achieve this goal. In order to prepare students for the
reading demands of high school, it is essential that we provide
strategic scaffolding for the habits of mind required to read this
genre at a high level and the motivation to do so. The author
introduces elementary and middle school teachers to a format called
HART (High Attention Reading through Talking) that uses purposeful,
intermittent student talk to heighten engagement and accountability
during independent reading. The book includes easy-to-implement
lessons to get started with HART, as well as discussions about the
relationships among motivation, engagement, and content area
reading. Chapters describe how HART scaffolds and supports student
ownership of background knowledge, content vocabulary, and critical
thinking about texts. Teachers will learn how to create conditions
that foster motivation and engagement with informational text,
while also creating authentic accountability to help students read
to their potential. Book Features: An approach to independent
reading that can be incorporated into any reading curriculum, from
reading workshop to more structured comprehensive programs.
Practical information for how to impact a difficult to reach aspect
of reading--the internal effort students make while reading complex
text independently. Strategies for building students' critical
thinking through discussion and writing. Guidance for how to
increase student ownership of attending to background knowledge and
content vocabulary. A framework that can be used by reading and
content (science and social studies) teachers in both elementary
and middle school. Dedicated discussions on how to differentiate
HART for English Learners. Lessons that include descriptive
transcripts, reproducible supportive materials, and access to
downloadable PowerPoints.
