Comprehending complex informational text can be difficult for students. Use this book to help students simplify the process. Lessons will engage students and guide them to read a text critically in order to build comprehension. Lessons are also based on the Common Core State Standards and help move students purposefully through increasingly complex text. Strategies, including the Guided Highlighted Reading Framework, are provided for meaningful discussions on a variety of text structures.
"Thanks to the work of these three authors and their colleagues, we have proof that students early in their reading years can read to understand; analyze text for what it says and how it says it; and evaluate text to determine how it supports meaning." - Dr. Elaine Weber

"The introduction explains the background, purpose, framework, and organization before providing a sample lesson. There are sections in each lesson for: Common Core State Standards, background knowledge, Tier 1, 2, and 3 vocabulary, and teacher guided prompts to use over a four-day period, guiding students into deeper comprehension of the topic. . . .I have mentioned this strategy to our reading coach, special education teacher, and curriculum resource teacher, and they all feel this could help students gain a deeper understanding of topics. Recommended." - School Library Connection
