speaker across the United States. Tens of thousands of teachers
have attended her motivating, fast paced workshops and read her
practical, research-based professional books. Lori has extensive
experience as a bilingual elementary teacher, intervention specialist
working with struggling readers, and staff developer and literacy
coach. She works with students every week in classrooms and really
knows the challenges that teachers face in teaching students to
read!
Lori's two best selling books on comprehension have been featured
in the Reading Teacher journal. Reciprocal Teaching at Work: Strategies

P. David Pearson says that Lori's second book, "Super Six Comprehension
Strategies: 35 Lessons and More for Reading Success" (Christopher
Gordon, 2004) is "a marvelous book for teachers... the right
book at the right time." (from the foreword)
Lori's latest book on comprehension, "Interactive Think Alouds:
25 Ways to Engage Students and Improve Comprehension" (to be
released in Feb. 09) provides teachers with exciting NEW lessons
and tools including gestures, props, posters, and a DVD for helping
students comprehend.

at translating the latest, research-based practices into daily lessons
that every teacher can immediately implement!"
