Product Description
It's simple: If children don't understand what they read, they will never embrace reading. And that limits what they can learn while in school. This fact frightens parents, worries teachers, and ultimately hurts children.
7 Keys to Comprehension is the result of cutting-edge research. It gives parents and teachers—those who aren't already using this valuable program—practical, thoughtful advice about the seven simple thinking strategies that proficient readers use:
• Connecting reading to their background knowledge
• Creating sensory images
• Asking questions
• Drawing inferences
• Determining what's important
• Synthesizing ideas
• Solving problems
Easily understood, easily applied, and proven successful, this essential educational tool helps parents and teachers to turn reading into a fun and rewarding adventure.

 A MUST-READ BOOK FOR INVOLVED PARENTS! July 19, 2008
As an educator, many time parents want to know what to do while they read with their children. We all seem to revert back to the way WE were taught...."sound it out". But in this day and age, we have found that meaning in reading is very important and if children can use the context of their text along with phonics to figure out unknown words, their understanding of what they read, and what it means grows. This book was written for parents. It will help you understand what YOU can do and say to your child while reading with them to assist them in the reading process. It also helps you understand how to help children use specific strategies for greater comprehension. If you are an involved parents who wants to do everything you can to contribute to the reading ability of your child, this is the book for you.
Very applicable text!!!! July 17, 2008
This book is classroom friendly from page one. Very good ideas that can be applied very easily and right away in your classroom (or your home). This text is very easy to understand with practical examples and clear explanations. I wish I had this to read when I was in college as my textbook. Makes teaching reading simplified not frustrating.
Helping Children To Read :for Parents and Teachers July 5, 2008
It is so important to teach children these all important reading skills. Without understanding, a love for reading is never fostered. Two pieces of children's literature that were recommended by daughter's first grade teacher made all the difference.Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success and The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tailare great stories that children will relate to and even more important have great teaching guides on how to teach reading skills using the story....invaluable for both parents and teacher's as well.

This is an excellant resource for both parents and teacher in promoting comprehension strategies to improve their children's reading comprehension. It is very clearly set out and easy to read. The language used is not "teacher talk" and it sets out clear guidelines.
I highly recommend it.
