Description

Disrupting Thinking: Why How We Read Matters is a practical guide for teachers and administrators looking to change the way they think about teaching students to become thoughtful, skillful, attentive, responsive readers. With support from student conversations, classroom scenarios, and turn-and-talk moments, this book provides strategies and techniques to help you create a more engaging reading environment. Kylene Beers and Bob Probst explore key concepts such as engagement, relevance, and talk, helping you understand the importance of choice reading, in-common reading, and leveled reading. The book offers classroom vignettes and practical advice, making it easy to apply these ideas in your own teaching practice. Every chapter ends with a Turn-and-Talk, designed to deepen your understanding of reading and help you define three kinds of readers: responsive, responsible, and empathetic.
