A practical framework for reading comprehension

Susan Zimmermann organizes reading comprehension around seven thinking strategies: connecting a text with prior knowledge, forming sensory images, asking questions, making inferences, identifying important ideas, synthesizing information, and solving problems. The book presents these strategies as tools adults can help children use while reading, with practical guidance aimed at both parents and teachers. Its emphasis is on understanding what is read, linking comprehension to learning, and making the strategies applicable in educational settings. The seven-part structure gives the subject a clear, teachable outline for adults seeking ways to support children’s reading.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents looking for practical ways to support children’s reading comprehension.
  • Teachers interested in a structured set of comprehension strategies.
  • Adults seeking guidance on connecting reading comprehension with children’s learning.

Book overview

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.
