Into the book - comprehension strategies

I posted about this website last year - a useful resource when talking to students (primary) about ways to get more from reading - but have just recommended the downloadable pdf posters with each strategy simply defined to a librarian asking for just this thing for display in the library, so thought I would mention it again...
Into the book - http://reading.ecb.org/index.html

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.

    Those reading response bookmarks are great! I'm going to use them for our Y9 & 10 students who still find it difficult to do anything other than plot summaries in response to their reading...
