This book, written by renowned literacy expert Nancy Frey, empowers teachers to foster critical thinking skills in their students, enabling them to approach text as investigators, actively seeking meaning and uncovering hidden clues.
The Detective Approach: A Game-Changer for Reading Comprehension
The detective approach to reading is not about passive consumption, but rather about active investigation. Students become detectives on the hunt for information, using evidence from the text to make inferences, draw s, and solve mysteries.
Through a series of engaging activities and thought-provoking questions, Frey guides teachers in creating a classroom environment where students:
- Question the text: Students ask questions about characters, events, and themes, digging deeper into the meaning of the text.
- Gather evidence: They look for specific details in the text to support their inferences and s.
- Analyze evidence: Students examine the evidence critically, considering different perspectives and evaluating the credibility of information.
- Develop theories: They form hypotheses about the meaning of the text based on the evidence they've gathered.
- Test theories: Students test their theories by finding additional evidence or challenging counterarguments.
