How to Write Anticipation Guides: Using Pre-Reading Activities to Help Students Read More Actively
Activating prior knowledge and making predictions about what you will read can greatly enhance reading comprehension. In her new book <i>Teaching Reading in the Middle School</i>, language arts specialist Laura Robb writes "For teachers, one of the most important tasks is to provide rich and frequent opportunities for students to access prior knowledge and enlarge that knowledge. Taking the time to engage students in strategy lessons that prepare them to read a text can develop a strong base of prior knowledge that deepens students' comprehension of books and other texts, which in turn helps them to construct new understandings." Throughout her book, Robb outlines many pre-reading strategy lessons like "predict and support", "brainstorm and categorize" knowledge about concepts into an organized framework, and "form a hypothesis and prove it". I'd like to investigate another, perhaps lesser known pre-reading activity known as the anticipation guide.

Building Critical Thinking Skills with Readers Theatre
teaching recommendations that will help their children to further develop their oral reading skills and overall motivation to interact with and respond to their reading. So, I thought I'd write about one of my favorite activities that addresses these skills as well as various other reading comprehension and higher level thinking skills. This relatively new activity is known as Readers' Theatre and can successfully enrich children's interactions with literature no matter what their age.

In this third phase of What's Hot in Reading for 1999, I've managed to locate many Internet resources that can help you to better differentiate phonemic awareness from traditional phonics instruction. I've also located a number of teaching activities that can be used with early readers to foster what many describe as one of the best predictors of later success in reading.

Reciprocal Teaching: Support for Struggling Older Readers
I have decided to change my focus for the next few months by addressing issues and reading strategies more relevant for teachers of secondary students. A recent article entitled Before It's Too Late: Giving Reading A Last Chance provides a wonderful starting point for an investigation into supportive online resources for secondary school teachers trying to "beef up students' reading abilities". The article's author, Rick Allen, describes some of the most successful reading comprehension strategies for secondary students as those that are "woven into larger learning frameworks that attempt to meet students' needs on an academic and personal level." One particularly exciting reading program described in Allen's article is called Academic Literacy.
