Ten years ago, Reading Power was launched in an elementary school
in Vancouver. Now, it has evolved into a recognized approach to
comprehension instruction being implemented across Canada, the US,
UK, Sweden, and China. This ground-breaking approach showed
teachers how to help students think while they read – connect,
question, visualize, infer, and transform. Since the publication of
her book, Reading Power, Adrienne Gear has continued to reflect and
refine her understanding of metacognition, comprehension
instruction, and the reading power strategies. In this revised and
expanded second edition of her popular book, Adrienne shares this
new understanding and offers teachers new ideas, new lessons, and
of course, new anchor books to support the Reading Power lessons.
An ideal resource for teachers familiar with this strategic
approach to teaching reading or those teachers looking for new ways
to connect thinking with reading.
This timely book uses thinking structures to deepen student
writing. It revolves around "brain pockets" to help students
appreciate the qualities of different writing forms. Some powerful
examples include memory pockets for personal narrative writing,
fact pockets for nonfiction, and imagination pockets for story
writing. Detailed lesson plans are featured along with sample
anchor books and book lists. Based on extensive classroom testing,
student samples throughout the book illustrate this unique approach
to teaching writing. Suggestions for setting up an effective
writing program and assessment tips for guiding instruction
complete this comprehensive approach to developing a year-long
writing program.
At any age or grade level, powerful readers are those who are aware
of their thinking as they read. The assumption is that high school
students don't need to be taught how to read; but even if they can
decode words and gain literal understanding, they often don't think
deeply about what they are reading. Presenting a balance of theory
and practical lessons, Powerful Readers demonstrates that
instructions in the key strategies of connecting, visualizing,
questioning, inferring, determining importance, and transforming
can help students develop their reading skills and get more out of
their work with fiction and nonfiction. Step-by-step lessons for
introducing and using the strategies, connections to literary
devices, and reading lists for each strategy are all part of this
valuable resource.

In these challenging times, teaching children to think critically
and reflectively AND be compassionate, responsible and caring
citizens at the same time is a tall order. Powerful Understanding
explores effective ways to build social emotional skills and help
students make connections, question what they read, and reflect on
their learning as they develop into stronger readers and learners.
Strategic and critical thinking strategies revolve around core
anchor books that help integrate thinking into everything you
teach—from social responsibility, to immigration, to life cycles.
This highly readable book includes a wealth of classroom examples
and extensive hands-on activities designed to help students to
think more deeply, learn more widely, and develop a more powerful
understanding of what it means to be a responsible and
compassionate person.
Writing Power is a practical and thoughtful resource that shows
teachers how to encourage students to consider the reader's
thinking as they write. Using the same five thinking strategies
from Adrienne Gear's groundbreaking Reading Power books-Connect,
Question, Visualize, Infer, and Transform-young writers will learn
how to engage and invite their readers' thinking through their
writing. Writing Power guides teachers through a series of lessons
focusing on each of the strategies and includes scripted,
sequential lessons, recommended anchor books, reproducibles, and
assessment rubrics.
How can you help students find meaning in informational texts and
become independent strategic readers and thinkers? "Nonfiction
Reading Power" gives teachers a wealth of effective strategies for
helping students think while they read material in all subject
areas. Using the best children's books to motivate students,
Adrienne Gear shows teachers how help students zoom-in, question
and infer; find the main idea, make connections, and transform
what's on the printed page. Key introductory concept lessons for
each of the five reading powers provide valuable insight into the
purpose of each strategy. The book also explores the particular
features of nonfiction and offers lists of key books organized
around strategies and subject areas.
