“Reading beyond the Surface” was a key phrase in chapter 4. It discusses how teachers can model the difference between literal and inferential, or “quick questions and deep thinking questions.”
Chapter 5 discusses the power to visualize. There was a lot of highlighting going on for me in this chapter. I often ask my students what they are seeing in their heads when they are reading. However, I realize now, that I don’t model it nearly as much as I should. This chapter provided wonderful visualizing exercises and activities I can do with my students, and just like previous chapters, it provides lists of books that I can use for this skill.
