I like how this book is laid out so far. On page 21 it discusses how to help students make connections while they are reading. It reminded me of many of the new materials that just came out for the Geodes which I use in the classroom. There are usually activities that require the students to write about how the text relates to themselves, another text, or the world. This is exactly the type of practice this book is stating students should have. It goes one step further however and explains that struggling students might not do this naturally and that they may need a lot of modeling beforehand. It fully lays out how to go about doing this. On page 31, it shows the four components of reading instruction and it reminds me of the “I do, We do, You do” method I already use.
