Powerful Thinking : Engaging readers, building knowledge, and nudging learning in elementary classrooms

An inspiring book to help teachers shift their beliefs and "stretch" their thinking around reading comprehension, literacy instruction, and content-area learning.

Using the key concepts and strategies introduced in her ground-breaking book, Reading Power, Adrienne Gear shows teachers practical ways to create a "culture of thinking" that can be integrated into all areas of learning.

Using knowledge-rich texts as tools, Adrienne shares how read-alouds can be used in content areas to support literacy skills and build knowledge.

This timely book offers classroom-tested lessons and anchor books to create a content-rich learning environment that helps strengthen student learning and knowledge-building.
