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.
