INSIGHTS: Reading as Thinking provides explicit, systematic, and sequenced instruction to help students read fiction and nonfiction strategically. Effective teaching strategies help students become critical thinkers who understand levels of meaning.

The easy to use teacher manual provides complete units rather than single practice pages for each reading strategy so that students develop a thorough understanding of each strategy and are able to apply them independently to their own reading.

In grades K-2, teachers focus on helping students use what they know to make meaning from an author?s
words. Strategies help students analyze fiction and nonfiction narratives.
