From the founder of the internationally known Benchmark School, this unique book presents a proven approach for helping struggling students become fully engaged readers, learners, thinkers, and problem solvers. Benchmark's research-based Interactive Learning Model is clearly explained and illustrated with teacher-friendly, step-by-step examples. Gaskins demonstrates ways to teach effective strategies for decoding words and understanding concepts, and gives students the skills to apply these strategies across the curriculum, based on their own learning styles and the specific demands of the task at hand. Comprehensive yet highly readable, this book includes quick-reference charts and reproducible figures and activities that can be used in all subject areas from kindergarten to grade 12.
