A Review of Revisit, Reflect, Retell: Strategies for Improving Reading Comprehension by Linda Hoyt
Rating: Three Stars
Edition: Soft Cover with Permission for Copying Full-Page Reproducible Materials
Genre: Education
This book is a strategy manual for teachers that focuses specifically on helping students with reading comprehension. It is focused for lower graders, but some of the concepts can be implemented in high school, especially for struggling readers.
The book is divided up into the following chapters:
-Conversations About Books: Personal and Social Explorations of Meaning
-Oral Reading
-Written Reflections
-Informational Text
-The Arts: Powerful Tools for Enhancing Understanding
There are tons of reproducible materials that teachers can use. That's probably the best part about this book because I hate it when education books don't let teachers copy the strategies. There are a lot of strategies that teachers can choose from as well.
Although this book did contain a lot of strategies, I did not feel the book was rigorous enough for daily use in my classroom. I can see it being more applicable for lower grades. I could use this for struggling readers, so I am keeping the book in my collection.
