Julie Suzanne rated it liked itRecommends it for: Reading teachers, along with Chris Tovani books.
I read this several years ago and loved it. This and Tovani's I read it but I don't get it taught me how to explicitly teach comprehension strategies. I became a post-it teacher, but I never really saw the results that I should've. These books are filled with engaged students making amazing growth as readers, and this particular one focuses primarily on younger children, so I wonder if it's because my students were in 7th and 8th grade that the lessons were less successful. This year, I have to...more

The first edition of Strategies that Work was a great tool to help teachers dive into reading comprehension instruction. It provided a framework and a language to talk explicitly about the skills good readers use to make meaning from text. This new edition is a substantial improvement on that first ground breaking work. It reflects Harvey and Goudvis' developing understanding of reading comprehension and how that plays out in classrooms. What is most admirable about this work is that it acknowle...more
Excellent book very understandable and provides lessons you can directly use.
This shows the second edition. It I actually read the third edition. This new edition is even more fabulous than the others. A must read for every educator.

I've had this book on the shelf and have pulled it down and read parts of it here and there for a few years. I finally sat down in the last couple of weeks and read it through. It's an excellent resource. I was pleased to discover that I'm already doing a lot of the things it suggests, probably because of the pulling it off the shelf over the last few years... Despite that, there was still a lot of practical ideas that I want to incorporate into my repertoire, mainly from Part 2 about strategy l...more

I have had this book since it was published but only skimmed it. I love, love, love the first edition and reading it transformed my teaching. However, after hearing Stephanie Harvey speak at Furman University, I decided it was time to read the newest edition. It doesn't disappoint.In the age of Common Core Standards, everything Harvey & Goudvis suggests and states is so relevant to teaching reading and writing. The chapters on informational text and the chapter on the Genre of Test Reading o...more

Recommended to Karen Stevens by: Required reading for a college course
This book goes beyond the general information about reading comprehension and gets to the heart of what matters to teachers--strategies and how to teach them. This was required reading for one of my master's level courses in reading education, but it is far from being a boring textbook.

While this book is aimed at teachers of younger students, I've found lots of lines that perfectly support my approach to reading in the high school setting. Choice, prediction, questioning...all are part of what I do every day with students. I like the flexibility of their approach. And I absolutely appreciate the student examples, both the strong examples and not-so-strong. A teacher could use them in class as the models and have a rich conversation.

I read this for a book study at work. It's filled with valuable information and I consider it an important resource for teachers but since I had read an earlier edition years ago (and even led the book study for that edition) I think it lost some of its impact this time. I was already intimately familiar many of the concepts, although there were parts of the book that contained updated information. I always appreciate a good conversation about a book and so meeting weekly with other teachers to...more

No matter what reading series your curriculum uses, this one has excellent strategies for teaching comprehension that can be used with any of them. Even though, I did not read it in its entirety at this time; this is a book I will purchase and read more closely. I love how it recommends specifics picture books for each strategy Even though the copyright is 2007 and some of the books mentioned may be out of print, these are titles that should be available from a school library. If not, your local...more

This edition is basically an update of the original strategies book that Stephanie Harvey wrote. There are quite a few new lessons included- I think its a good resource to have in the bookcase!
June 24, 2014- I decided that I need to reread this book so it is on my summer reading list. I can't wait! I saw Stephanie Harvey at Rutgers a few weeks ago- she is timeless- she is amazing!

While I have not read this from start to finish, I have spent some time browsing and reading it and am looking forward to implementing some of the strategies mentioned for comprehension instruction in the library for both fiction and nonfiction. I will probably be referring to this text throughout the year. It has a great list of resources to use in the appendixes and actual samples of children's work that show their thinking and questioning.
This is a great professional resource for teachers k-8 that are looking to teach comprehension strategies. It gives detailed examples of what strategies such as visualizing, inferring, predicting look like and sound like. They give great mini-lessons at different grade levels as well. The appendixes with lists of books sorted by comprehension strategies and genres would make unit planning much easier for beginning teachers.
The first half of the book was used to remind readers why comprehension is so important and why reading is strategic. Since I didn't need to be convinced, I found it too obvious. There were sections in the second half that included names of picture books and how to use them within your secondary classroom to teach different strategies including predicting or inferring. I'll use those suggestions.
Need a strategy to help you teach comprehension? This is the text for you! This text is an excellent resource for all teachers, not just 'reading' teachers. The text is broken into four different sections. It contains what comprehension is, lesson ideas, how to use strategies across content areas, and specific books in all different genres that can help teach comprehension strategies. This can even benefit readers by using these strategies with mentor texts at any level.
I found the reading interesting and generally helpful for instruction. Some of the strategies were difficult to use with a small group of students and the sample lessons within the book were completed in general education classrooms. In my opinion, is where comprehension can be done best for all students.

Absolutely outstanding book to follow up with after reading Debbie Miller's Reading with Meaning. This book also gives many lesson ideas and is another phenomenal resource that I feel every teacher, just beginning or 15 years in, should have as a reference. Super text filled with awesome information that is extremely user - friendly!

Finished this last night as I sat as a 'warden' trying to get seven 8 year old boys to go to sleep. Love this book. It reminds me of a school I recently visited in Chicago, Burley. I feel like if my kids were in a classroom that used this book as their overall philosophy of teaching, that would be a very good year. This will be one I return to often.
OK...I've read this before. But I thought I needed to come back and review the Chapter on Questioning. I am really interested in working on the Wonder Book for my science class...and also incorporating the idea of Thick and Thin ?s into my class next year.
Just as good the second time around as it was the first time I read it.

A great guide to support teachers in what their districts may be presenting to them as teaching strategies for Common Core Language Arts instruction. I like to know where the research is coming from and this book is behind a lot of the comprehension instruction that my district is employing for Common Core Core Comprehension strategies.

I loved the layout of this book -- easy to access comprehension strategies and K-6 ideas illustrated with student work that make the lessons easy to try. I read this during our ILT work as part of a research review, but ended up using it on my own in my classroom. It brings some practical ideas for Reader's Workshop mini-lessons and aligns well with the Regie philosophy I so love.
Jul 10, 2011Virginia rated it it was amazing
Excellent book for clearly laying out the information about the strategies good readers use and that ALL readers should be taught. The lessons included are wonderful, and can serve to guide a new teacher or as a 'jumping-off' place for an experienced teacher. This book is marked as 'read', but it is on the shelf next to my desk and I pull it out every week as I plan lessons!

Stephanie Harvey Reading Strategies
An excellent textbook for veteran teachers and new teachers: focuses on strategies and one of the finest textbooks in my professional career. This is a keeper: worth an investment by media specialists for the professional library collection.
FOUR STARS!

I read this book as a reference while on curriculum writing committee. It was helpful in clarifying what we miss and overlook when teaching, and has us as teachers take a closer look at how, why and in what manner we teach comprehension.
This book is an excellent resource for how to read a variety of text. Did you know that there are strategies for reading? Those of us who read frequently don't need strategies but many students do!!

This book is similar to a textbook, with tons of information. However, it includes lots of ways to apply the information, shows examples of students work and how to interpret and diagnose their comprehension.

Great ideas for teaching comprehension. Most of the strategies can be easily adapted for upper grades. Also, one of the best strategies for teaching inference out there that I have seen- inference=background knowledge + what you are reading.
Jan 01, 2015Michelle Mayfield rated it it was amazing
I really enjoyed this hands on 'what to do and how to do it' book. I started teaching the strategies the next day at school. I think this book can help all teachers be better teachers because we all must be reading teachers regardless of the subject we teach. This is a great book.
Feb 25, 2011Sarah rated it really liked it
GREAT lesson plan ideas for teaching reading comprehension. There are student examples from actual lessons given by teachers where students wrote, drew, and discussed in response to texts. It is a good resource for planning a reading curriculum, but not for planning intervention lessons.

Reading for my graduate class. Great book for any age teacher!!!
