Explorers

“The Art of Comprehension” will #teach you how to #read texts by using what the author calls “access lenses.” You will learn about the connection between visual and written texts and how to use your imagination to derive #meaning. Key Features: Discover inventive ways to prompt students to notice, think about, and synthesize visuals—using the same observation and comprehension skills they can bring to reading and writing. Learn about ways to unravel layers of meaning in picture books, chapter books, artwork, poetry, and informational text. Explore the book’s eclectic collection of art and illustration by acclaimed illustrator Peter H. Reynolds, 19th-century masters, and more. Learn about “access lenses” (such as faces, body language, sound/silence), which prompts students to become active explorers and meaning-makers.
