Book Reviews of Mosaic of Thought, Second Edition: The Power of Comprehension Strategy Instruction
Book Review: It'll Make You Think!
Summary: 5 Stars
During my credential program, I heard and read about think alouds and comprehension strategies, but didn't get to see those in practice in the classroom. I knew they were important, but didn't know how to implement them. This book offered practical advice (for multiple grade levels) that will help me begin to teach these strategies in the fall. The authors describe a clear structure for teaching comprehension, and offer real world narratives of teachers using the strategies. There was a lot to think about in this book, and I'm sure I'll be reading it again!

Ellin Oliver Keene and Susan Zimmermann have returned with a new edition of Mosaic of Thought that features 70 percent new material. When the first edition published ten years ago, Mosaic of Thought became a runaway best seller as the first book to explicitly describe the use and benefits of strategy-based comprehension instruction. Since then comprehension strategy instruction has exploded, leading to numerous inspiring variations on Mosaic's instructional principles, as well as a widening of the comprehension research base. Now the second edition offers up-to-the-minute insight for classroom teachers, literacy coaches, and school leaders everywhere, and reminds everyone of precisely what effective, long-lasting comprehension teaching looks like. Mosaic of Thought, Second Edition, has been carefully revised and reflects
- Key Ideas sections for each strategy that describe crucial comprehension concepts
- new classroom examples that show comprehension strategies put into action in dynamic, literature-rich, current classrooms
- new opening vignettes that illustrate the concepts students will learn through explorations of the thinking used by proficient adult readers
- new tools to help teachers create effective reader's workshops
- innovations from teachers around the country for fine tuning think-alouds and conferring practices
- new advice on long-term instructional planning.
Keene and Zimmermann have also created an invaluable Q-and-A section with smart, informed responses to the questions that today's teachers most frequently ask about strategy-based teaching.
