Deep Reading Strategies
What Good Readers Do:
Keys to Comprehension
Especially for EAL learners, preparing for Book Clubs utilizing comprehension strategies eventually leads to a greater appreciation for literature and the internalization of strategies.
Discussing literature needs to be both fun and rigorous for rich discussions, appreciation for author's craft, and complete literacy opportunities via reading, speaking, listening, and thinking like a writer.

Open a new word document/title a blank page Resource Bank. You will individually be creating a resource bank for great strategies for high engagement, interaction, and opportunities for everyone in the class to practice their language development. Please be sure to write legibly because this resource may be shared with others (wink, wink).
