Description
Reading Comprehension provides teachers and librarians with a collection of strategies combined with current children's literature to help students to learn and remember content area curriculum. The authors include sections on science, social studies, and mathematics.
Within each section are chapters relating to topics frequently covered in these subject areas.
The introduction to each section contains the national content standards for that subject.
Each chapters describes three reading comprehension strategies, provides step-by-step instructions for implementing the strategy in the classroom, contains book annotations, and displays examples of how to use the strategy with informational and fiction books.
The pages are delightfully interspersed with children's work and drawings, representing hands-on classroom activities.
Useful software programs and Internet sites are also reviewed. Section One focuses on science and includes chapters on gardens, bugs, the solar system, weather, habitats, and animals.
Chapter Two focuses on social studies and includes chapters on American history, states, geography of America, countries of the world, immigrants, and biographies.
Section Three focuses on mathematics and includes chapters on number operations, time, money, and problem solving.
The book concludes with a list of references and an index. Preservice and inservice teachers will be able to quickly find books and ideas for use in planning and implementing classroom instruction in this easy-to-read resource.
