Literature, Literacy, and Thinking Strategies in the Elementary School

by Joy F. Moss

Overview

Moss (University of Rochester) provides teachers of elementary school children with a literature program that builds specific reading and thinking strategies, including using prior knowledge, drawing inferences, making predictions, and determining importance. In particular, the program stresses group sessions of both reading and thinking aloud. The intent is to embed the comprehension strategies into the units a teacher develops, all the while gearing the texts to the specific needs and interests of students. A list of children's and young adult literature is included. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
