Think Big with Think Alouds: A Three-Step Planning Process That Develops Strategic Readers

Focusing on just five strategies: asking questions, making inferences, synthesizing, understanding the author’s purpose, and monitoring and clarifying, this book uses a simple process for creating dynamic lessons. The first step is the reader noting all the spots that strike them, the second step is to narrow these points down to just the important ones, and finally - writing down what is going to be said in class.
