Show Me : Graphic Organizers for Reading Comprehension Across the Curriculum

"Teachers nationwide are responsible for teaching reading strategies that prepare students for state reading assessments and, more importantly, for success as lifelong readers. Developing efficient reading strategies is key to students' success in comprehending text and making it their own. Here, in one volume, are 32 graphic organizers that can be used to teach, reinforce and assess students' mastery of a variety of reading comprehension strategies that are tied to national and state standards. The graphic organizers are simple enough that students can grasp their use easily and then create them on their own with text of their choosing.Each six-page lesson plan offers a brief original fiction or nonfiction reading selection incorporating the strategy, a filled-in model, a suggested writing assignment, extension activities and an assessment component."
