Reading is Thinking

We have been talking about Real Reading. A reader can read the words right and have great expression, but they aren’t real readers unless they are THINKING about their reading. Our first strategy on our reading strategy menu is “arrête et pense” from The Café Book, Boushey & Moser. A lot of my introductory minilessons for metacognition came from Comprehension Connections by Tanny McGregor.
In an email from a parent: when I asked B if she was thinking while she was reading her book last night she said that she only had to do that at school!  Good try silly girl!
