Over the last decade Reading Power has evolved into a recognized approach to comprehension instruction, and has been implemented across Canada, the US, UK, Sweden, and China.

Building on Adrienne Gear's Reading Power books, this valuable addition to her highly successful books addresses the close link between reader and writer. This remarkable book shows teachers how to help students recognize that they write because they have something to say. It argues that writing nonfiction well means considering the writer's intent and purpose, and choosing the most appropriate form among the various nonfiction genres.

This practical and thoughtful resource is a follow up to the ground-breaking Reading Power books, which feature simple strategies for helping students focus on their "thinking" while they read. Using five thinking strategies - Connect, Question, Visualize, Infer, and Transform - young writers will learn how to engage their readers' thinking through their writing.
