Linda Dorn and Carla Soffos: Teaching for Deep Comprehension: A Reading Workshop Approach
"As interest in reading comprehension instruction has grown, so have the number of professional books available on how to teach this elusive phenomenon called reading comprehension. The book Dorn and Soffos have given us occupies a special niche in that market by skillfully balancing three key emphases: grounding instruction in comprehension theory and research, detailing the steps teachers and students go through in acquiring strategies to assist comprehension, and describing how to integrate comprehension instruction into everyday reading lessons."
(P. David Pearson, Professor and Dean, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley)
