Trade ReviewChallenge Thinking and Deepen Understanding pushes students to think deeply and differently about text. It requires them to consider an alternative perspective when approaching text and a new purpose for learning its content. As a result, students become more critical readers and thinkers. -- Andrea Altman, K-12 literacy leader
I've used several of the strategies from Challenge Thinking and Deepen Understanding with my students. Honoring people's time to read silently totally works. -- Kim Madrigal, science teacher and department chair
Challenge Thinking and Deepen Understanding was perfect and I was able to use strategies the very next day with my students. I have also had many other teachers from the school tell me how they implemented some of the strategies and they had great success in their classrooms using them. Lisa Fisher has inspired me to be a better teacher. -- Joan Brownstein, intensive reading teacher and department chair
