by Sue Z. Beers, Lou Howell

This set provides research-based reading tools that make it much easier to select the right strategy that will help students build their learning skills and learn the particular content they are studying. Whenever teachers observe students having trouble with connecting prior knowledge to new reading assignments, making predictions about their reading, or deciphering text they do not understand, they can quickly select a reading tool that will address the problem effectively in a time-efficient way. ASCD action tools provide all the materials you need to begin using these resources immediately. Each tool includes complete how-to-use instructions, teacher materials for classroom use, classroom examples, and a template for student assignments.
