 * Ask Val for a copy.** ||< This book promotes reading comprehension with a wealth of effective strategies that help students think as they read.

Provides students with the tools to become more thoughtful and meaningful readers as well as how to become “meta-cognitive” or aware of their thinking while they read. Developing a “common language of thinking” across grades is a key aspect to this approach, while teachers learn the importance of using this language in all aspects of their teaching. ||< Comprehending Math: Adapting Reading Strategies to Teach Mathematics, K-6

Table of Contents Kindle Version Available Look Inside The Book

In Comprehending Math, Arthur Hyde shows how to adapt effective reading comprehension strategies to help students with important math concepts. Emphasizing problem solving, Hyde and his colleagues demonstrate math-based variations of K–W–L, visualizing, questioning, inferring, predicting, making connections, determining importance, and synthesizing. He then presents ways to "braid" together reading comprehension, problem-solving, and thinking to improve teaching and learning and shows how it can support planning as well as instruction.

Incorporating math content into the language arts block helps students gain skills for reading many kinds of texts. And bringing reading, writing, and talking into the math classroom supports the development of conceptual knowledge and problem solving, in addition to computational skills. This book explains integrated instruction and gives teachers the tools to make it a reality. Grounded in current best practices for both language arts and math, the book includes planning advice, learning activities, assessment strategies, [|reproducibles], and resources, plus a wealth of classroom examples.

 * Ask Paula for a copy. **

"This book will help primary and elementary teachers to transform the way they think about and teach mathematics. Many teachers feel confident about their preparation and strategic repertoire for literacy instruction but are less confident about their preparation and content depth for teaching math. This book will make visible the parallels between what elementary teachers already know about teaching literacy and help them make connections to numeracy instruction to improve their students' achievement in mathematics. Teachers can carry their literacy strength straight into their math instruction. Readers will gain a detailed, comprehensive understanding of the crossovers connections between literacy and numeracy to deepen their own mathematics content knowledge and be more confident and successful in their instruction of elementary mathematics.

The approach – called Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) -- sets forth two major tenets. First, challenging behavior in kids is best understood as the byproduct of lagging cognitive skills – for example, in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving -- rather than as attention-seeking, manipulative, limit-testing, or a sign of poor motivation. Second, these challenges are best addressed by teaching children the skills they lack (just as you would with any other developmental delay) and helping them solve the problems that reliably and predictably precipitate their challenging episodes." ~ @http://www.lostatschool.org/different/index.htm ||<  ||< Greene, R.W.
