By: Lori Oczkus

In Interactive Think-Aloud Lessons, you will find a wealth of exciting classroom-tested lessons that will aid you in teaching the comprehension strategies--connect, predict/infer, question, summarize, monitor/clarify, and evaluate--through a variety of modalities. Interactive think alouds engage students during the modeling phase of the lesson with gestures to cue the strategies and clever characters and metaphors that students can relate to the strategies. The DVD offers additional support, watch the lessons in action before, after, or during your reading of the text. Because the lessons are so hands on it is helpful to see them in action in the classroom with children.
