• Summary:Molly spent a year researching teachers' think alouds, and she uses these findings to help you know just what to do. The big time-saver? You focus on just these five strategies: asking questions, making inferences, synthesizing, understanding the author's purpose, and monitoring and clarifying. Select the one or two strategies that align to your text, and get ready with a stack of sticky notes! Grab a pencil, and you are on your way to dynamic lessons using Molly's three-step planning process: Read Once: Go wild, putting a flurry of sticky notes on spots that strike you; Read Twice: Whittle your notes down to the juiciest stopping points; Read Three Times: Jot down what you will say so there's no need to wing it in front of the kids -- Provided by publisher.
