NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT;
"NOW I GET IT!"
Mondo Publishing has just released Now I Get It!, a product
to fill the need for “just right” texts to model comprehension
strategies in a whole or small group setting.
Now I Get It! features short-text passages that better
enable students to focus on a specific comprehension strategy as
well as on their own thinking. In each lesson, students apply two
of the following comprehension strategies (one per session) while
developing an understanding of the various structures and features
of specific text types:
- Making connections
- Answering and generating questions
- Making inferences
- Recognizing text structure
- Visualizing
- Determining importance
- Synthesizing/summarizing
The Text Posters include a variety of fiction and nonfiction text
types, including poetry, traditional tales, historical fiction,
procedure, explanation and biography/memoir. Report format and persuasive
nonfiction texts are included in every grade.
Comprehension Posters accompany each lesson allowing teachers to
revisit each text and deepen students’ understanding of the
text type and theme through exposure to and practice with a specific
comprehension strategy.
