Best Practices in Literacy Instruction, Edited by Linda B. Gambrell, Lesley Mandel Morrow, and Michael Pressley, Copyright 2007

Overview of key chapters: Chapter 10 is my favorite! It discusses great guidelines for teaching comprehension. Pg. 227 focuses on best practices and guiding questions to help students monitor their comprehension. Since most decoding takes priority with struggling readers, comprehension seems to take a back seat. Teaching them decoding skills and preteaching vocabulary can serve as a vital way to improve a literature study.
