This text presents a simple plan to help teachers move their students along the continuum from good readers to great readers by capitalizing on the seven research-driven habits that great readers manifest. Chapters dedicated to each habit help you envision the comprehension issues to be tackled to help readers acquire each habit on their journey, and each chapter ends with a Moving from Good to Great feature that helps you notice and encourage the behaviors that will become, in your students, the habits of great readers. Great Readers See Themselves as Readers Great Readers Make Sense of Text Great Readers Use What They Know Great Readers Understand How Stories Work Great Readers Read to Learn Great Readers Monitor and Organize What They Read Great Readers Are Critical Responses from the Field The authors have "nailed" it as far as the chapter topics capturing important issues in comprehension development go. The order of topics is spot-on developmentally. I am in awe of the skill the authors showed in integrating and operationalizing so many of the comprehension techniques and strategies that teachers are taught all through their coursework.
