Are you tired of your students' indifference towards reading?

Are you frustrated daily with your students' lack of comprehension of key points in texts?

Where do you think the ideal model for professional training is (and it isn't Finland!)?

Are you ready to hear some of the BEST reading strategies you may every be privileged to hear on a podcast or anywhere else for that matter? Jennifer Serravallo has swept in to leave a trail of golden breadcrumbs so that your students know the way from one cover to another of any book you may challenge them with. So much fun and effective reading strategies you aren't going to find anywhere else!

Jennifer insists on the importance of strategies as ways of scaffolding reading - yes...she not only knows, but revels in the concept of scaffolding!!! She includes Inferencing, summarising, , using the title to remember key points, the first and last lines of the story, what does the main character want to achieve, and what happens that stops them from reaching their goal and so much more.
