Welcome to the I Read It, But I Don't Get It: Comprehension Strategies for Adolescent Readers discussion board. We will meet weekly during prep periods to discuss this book. Each group may decide on meeting times for book group discussions. As soon as the books arrive, I will get your copy to you. I will provide post-it notes for you to use as you read. I have created this discussion board for you so that groups can "drop in" on what other groups are discussing. When we try new things in our classrooms, we can share our successes or obstacles with everyone in our book club. I hope you all enjoy the book and come away with new insights on our students and their struggle to comprehend the material. I think an important focus is to keep in mind that students today need to be taught how to learn. Yes, we all have important content which they need to learn, and we know that material like the back of our hands, but they need to be coached and coaxed into learning how to learn the content before they will really comprehend with a deep understanding the lessons we deliver each day. I hope you enjoy Cris Tovani's book. It is one of my favorites.
