According to master teachers, Kylene Beers and Bob Probst, if teachers want reading to have the potential to change students' thinking, giving them more information about a subject, perhaps a new perspective--thus enabling them to disrupt and reshape their assumption and beliefs--then teachers must encourage students to interact with the text and with one another even before they begin to read; in short, they we must turn the thinking over to them. This book includes strategies for:
- Creating engagement
- Encouraging thoughtfulness
- Solving confusions
