39. FINDS: Digging Deeper with Fiction “ Many children are not so engaged when they read. They don’t know when they’re comprehending. They don’t know when they are not. They don’t know whether it is critical for them to comprehend a given piece. And if they don’t comprehend, they don’t know what to do about it.” Keene, Ellin Oliver and Zimmerman, Susan. Mosaic of Thought . Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1997.
40. According to Mosaic of Thought, proficient readers: Make different types of connections to the text Text-to-Self Text-to-Text Text -to-World
43. FINDS: Novel Extensions Identify a theme or topic that requires further research, exploration, or cross-curricular study. Turn passive readers into active readers by integrating technology and inquiry-based learning into reading instruction. Podcasts, Google Lit Trips, E-Zines, wikis and blogs are just a few examples of how technology can be used to extend novels, giving students a chance for real world application.
