The Primary Comprehension Toolkit: Grades K–2
Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis have adapted the strategy instruction made famous in Strategies That Work and The Comprehension Toolkit to meet the developmental needs of our youngest readers. The Primary Comprehension Toolkit launches students in Kindergarten through Grade 2 into the exciting world of nonfiction reading, writing, and thinking.
  • Instruction centers on 22 lessons in six books, each organized around a fundamental comprehension strategy.
  • Lessons are designed for instruction with large groups, small groups, guided reading, and individual conferences.
  • Three half-hour classroom videos of the authors teaching lessons show active literacy instruction in action.
  • Students acquire tools for reading, writing, and thinking in Science and Social Studies.
