Reading Power - Adrienne Gear

Reading Power is a practical approach to reading comprehension that teaches students to use specific thinking strategies while they read.  Based on the research of David Pearson and influenced by Stephanie Harvey, Reading Power provides students with the tools to help students become more engaged with texts and to consciously think as they read. Central to the program is children’s literature specially selected to help teach each of the five Reading Powers:  connect, question, visualize, infer and transform.
