Into the book

Here is a link http://reading.ecb.org/teacher/index.html to a wealth of resources for teachers and also activities for students - "developed by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and a team of experienced educators".

From the website :
Into the Book is a reading comprehension resource for K-4 students and teachers. We focus on eight research-based strategies: Using Prior Knowledge, Making Connections, Questioning, Visualizing, Inferring, Summarizing, Evaluating and Synthesizing. Try the online interactive activities, or click below to find out how to get our engaging 15-minute video programs.
Behind the Lesson provides information and teaching resources for each strategy. Watch our 10-minute professional development videos and explore the Web site for lesson plans, video and audio clips, downloads, and more.

I found some of the video clips rather too staged and scripted to feel like natural interactions with children, but there are many other resources to view, adapt, download...

I enjoyed having a look around the print rich environment of Gale Chartier's first-grade classroom http://reading.ecb.org/teacher/makingconnections/mc_slideshow.html
You can click on the pictures to enlarge them so that you can read the charts, examples etc.
