1: It'll Make You Think!
During my credential program, I heard and read about think alouds and comprehension strategies, but didn't get to see those in practice in the classroom. I knew they were important, but didn't know how to implement them. This book offered practical advice (for multiple grade levels) that will help me begin to teach these strategies in the fall. The authors describe a clear structure for teaching comprehension, and offer real world narratives of teachers using the strategies. There was a lot to think about in this book, and I'm sure I'll be reading it again!

2: Mosaic of Thought, Second Edition The Power of Comprehension Strategy Instruction
I am a reading specialist at a K-8 school. I found this to be an excellent resource to put into practice myself and to share with classroom teachers. The writing style makes it easy to read and there are very practical strategies to put to use right away. This should be required reading for every teacher to know how to effectively approach teaching comprehension stategies to their students.

3: Reading Research
Up-to-date research on what works when teaching reading in an easy to read format. Personal experiences.

4: Writing Style
I did not care for the writing style of this book. (Too chatty and conversational.) The "think-aloud" and "questioning" examples sounded forced and patronizing.

5: Second Edition of Mosaic much more practical!
Ellin Keene has added a lot more depth and practicality in her second edition. All teachers of reading should read this book!
