Expand your strategies for teaching reading comprehension with this collection of lessons for using Guided Comprehension in your classroom. Written to complement Guided Comprehension: A Teaching Model for Grades 3-8, this book provides classroom-tested instructional plans and resources for teaching reading comprehension strategies within a variety of themes: multiple perspectives, mystery, favorite authors, poetry, biography and autobiography, and fantasy.

Each theme-based chapter presents the components for implementing the Guided Comprehension Model in grades 3-8: a theme description, theme-based plan, planning forms and lessons, teacher commentaries and think-alouds, samples of student work, and theme-based resources including related texts, websites, performance extensions across the curriculum, and culminating activities. A final chapter suggests even more themes and resources, and provides practical forms for planning themes and lessons based on the Model. Teaching ideas and blackline masters to support strategy applications in the theme-based lessons are included in an appendix.
