"What a great resource for teachers at all levels! The strategies are presented in a way that helps the teacher focus on the purpose for teaching and the goal for student learning. Teachers can use these research-based strategies alongside any curriculum in order to guide students through many different types of informational texts. I will recommend this book to my colleagues and teacher candidates."
-Julie Barkley, MA, reading specialist/interventionist, St. Cloud School District, Minnesota
"Each of the strategies in this practical guide is clearly explained and paired with a model of practice in action. As I worked through Moss and Loh's suggestions, I often found myself nodding in agreement. The strategies are not only appropriate, they are also interesting and easy to apply in any classroom setting. Teachers in content areas like science and social studies who aren't trained as reading teachers will be able to pick up this book and quickly improve their practices. Even as an accomplished reading teacher, I added several new strategies to my own bag of professional tricks in just a few short days."
-Bill Ferriter, sixth-grade teacher, Salem Middle School, Wake County Public School System, North Carolina
"The strategies work because the authors help teachers understand the 'what,' 'when,' 'how,' and 'why' of strategy use in today's multidimensional classrooms. That is why this book will make a decided difference in the professional lives of teachers. Moss and Loh have 'hit one out of the park' with this book."

"With the ever-growing focus on informational texts and critical literacy, preservice teachers will benefit from being exposed to this book in any children's literature class; practicing teachers will also find it an invaluable asset. All teachers know that high-quality lessons require time and planning. The vast range of activities provided in this book help teachers engage students in rich, memorable lessons without having to start from scratch."
-Stephen Cline, MA, first-grade teacher, Stella Maris Academy, La Jolla, California
"Informational texts have become integral to current curriculum standards. To ensure success in today's ever-changing workplace, students must be taught to be critical readers. In a very user-friendly format, the authors provide practical strategies to help students choose, read, and evaluate a variety of informational texts, including Web-based texts."
