How can teachers get great answers to open-ended comprehension questions from the students who need help the most K-3 students, struggling older readers, and English language learners? Nancy Boyles supplies the solution in That s a GREAT Answer. She begins by discussing the foundations of a great answer great objectives, books, instruction, and discussions and adds valuable guidance on assessment. Her ready-to-go student scaffolds then break down the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) objectives into forty specific, measurable, open-ended comprehension questions that can be correlated with the literacy objectives of any state curriculum. Each open-ended question includes: teaching tips; a bibliography of fiction and nonfiction picture books aligned with the question; a worksheet template with the reading strategy (finding the best evidence in the text) and the writing strategy (what criteria produces a quality response); and an answer frame scaffold for initial response practice. The included CD allows you to adapt and print the scaffolds, and an extensive master bibliography organized alphabetically saves you time by matching key fiction and nonfiction literature models with appropriate comprehension questions. This book offers teachers the support they need to empower their students. It s the complete, great answer!
