This is an excellant resource for both parents and teacher in promoting comprehension strategies to improve their children's reading comprehension. It is very clearly set out and easy to read. The language used is not "teacher talk" and it sets out clear guidelines.
I highly recommend it. |
| 7 Keys to Comprehension: How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get It! by Three Rivers Press GREAT parent resource |
| I purchased this book in the hopes of finding something "new" to instill in my classroom teaching. I feel this book is more beneficial for parents than teachers, but both groups will find this book useful. I suppose that since my graduate studies were in the field of literacy and reading, I have already been exposed to most of what is in the book. I love that the authors end chapters with a section called "Teachers and Parents Together" and I truly hope that all who read this book will endeavor to strengthen the home-school relationship. This book is not too academic for parents without a background in education; it is reader-friendly and organized in a manner that would allow the reader to read it for short spans of time if desired. The index is useful. So, while I did not quite get what I had hoped for, I also did not walk away with nothing. This book is a good resource. I am going to keep my copy and have it on hand for the parents of my students to borrow. This book is a very good value for its price. |

7 Keys to Comprehension helps both parents and teachers better understand the process children go through as they are learning to read and comprehend what they are reading. The writers avoid the technical speech and wording that often characterizes many professional texts. This book is written in such a way that someone who does not have a background in education and/or teaching can understand exactly what the writers want the readers to know...how to help children become better readers!
For teachers, this book is an excellent choice for cross-grade level book studies and discussion groups. The first and second grade teachers at my school, along with our principal, art teacher, literacy leader, family partnership specialist, and librarian jigsawed this book as part of a year-long, school-wide focus on comprehension and the learning that took place from the book and from each other was invaluable.
In turn, we have had the opportunity to share what we have learned with our parents and with other members of the community. The book can be used as a guide for parent workshops and presentations to the general public as well as in educational settings.
I have started to implement the strategies mentioned in the book and my students' level of comprehension is clearly improving dramatically.
Because of the straightforward nature of this amazing book, the lives are ALL of our children are changing for the better! |
| 7 Keys to Comprehension: How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get It! by Three Rivers Press How to love reading |
This book is an understandable way for parents to instill the love of reading into their children. It gives real, practical ways to encourage the child to think beyond the text and link their reading to real world experiences, other books they have read and their own feelings. A very good book for parents with children who are just learning to read.

| 7 Keys to Comprehension: How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get It! by Three Rivers Press Product Description |
It's simple: If children don't understand what they read, they will never embrace reading. And that limits what they can learn while in school. This fact frightens parents, worries teachers, and ultimately hurts children.
7 Keys to Comprehension is the result of cutting-edge research. It gives parents and teachers—those who aren't already using this valuable program—practical, thoughtful advice about the seven simple thinking strategies that proficient readers use:
• Connecting reading to their background knowledge
• Creating sensory images
• Asking questions
• Drawing inferences
• Determining what's important
• Synthesizing ideas
• Solving problems
Easily understood, easily applied, and proven successful, this essential educational tool helps parents and teachers to turn reading into a fun and rewarding adventure. |
