When Kids Can't Read What Teachers Can Do by Kaylene Beers is an excellent guide for teachers grades 6-12 offering lesson plans and suggestions and strategies to improve reading comprehension. Unlike other books that I have read on strategies, these ones are relatively straightforward and easy to facilitate. One of the lessons I particularly enjoy involves having the students create bookmarks where they record either words they don't know or different observations about characters. It's really quite brilliant because the students not only are apply self-regulated strategies when reading, but also, they have a bookmark readily available!!!!
