Teaching Reading and Literature opens with ingenious ways for encouraging inquiry, ranging from an enjoyable cloze activity, to game-like approaches involving contradicting, predicting, and cannily guessing, to exercises in critical and creative thinking. The next section addresses more sophisticated skills, featuring ways to stimulate comparing and contrasting, questioning, evaluating, and analysis of elements such as theme, character, and plot. The final section suggests strategies for using instruments and objects that link the world of print to other media and symbol systems.
