Do your students often struggle with difficult novels and other challenging texts? Do you feel that you are doing more work teaching the novel than they are reading it?

Building on twenty years of teaching language arts, Kelly Gallagher shows how students can be taught to successfully read a broad range of challenging and difficult texts with deeper levels of comprehension. In Deeper Reading: Comprehending Challenging Texts, 4-12, he shares effective, classroom-tested strategies that enable your students to:

Accept the challenge of reading difficult books and move beyond a "first draft" understanding
Consciously monitor their comprehension as they read and employ effective "fix-it" strategies when comprehension starts to falter
Use meaningful collaboration and metaphorical thinking to achieve deeper understanding of texts
Reflect on the relevance the book holds for themselves and their peers by using critical thinking skills to analyze real-world issues

Gallagher also provides guidance on effective lesson planning that incorporates strategies for deeper reading.

Funny, poignant, and packed with practical ideas that work in real classrooms, Deeper Reading is a valuable resource for any teacher whose students need new tools to uncover the riches found in complex texts.
