Comprehension: Knowledge to Practice : (Literacy How Professional Learning Series). “Gillis and Eberhardt have written an incredible guide on comprehension that translates research into understandable language and builds connections to effective instructional practices. Five big ideas initially emerge as essential to effective instruction; text structure, background knowledge, cohesion, inference, and the reading and writing connection. The authors describe the nature, development, cue questions with text examples and connection to comprehension for each. These provide a framework for thinking about informed instructional practice throughout this book.I loved this window into [their] thinking and … perspective on instruction. The critical importance of the relationship between language systems and reading comprehension processes and skills is often misunderstood or overlooked. [Their] identification of the “big ideas’’ builds a bridge to this connection and captures so much of what is critical to making meaning. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of cohesion and the reading-writing connection!”. 20260721.
