Part of WestEd's VITAL Education Series, this practical book provides a research-based, 7-step process to develop reading comprehension skills across all content areas and grade levels.

Drawing on current research and practical experience in schools and classrooms, the authors introduce the Reading to Learn Framework--seven core practices that include setting purpose, activating background knowledge, identifying text elements, anticipating and predicting, gathering information, making sense of information, and applying learning. Teachers can use the framework to scaffold comprehension through every stage of reading and across all text types including print, visual, and digital sources.

Featuring vignettes, planning tools, and classroom-ready strategies, Reading to Learn equips teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders with a shared language and structure for comprehension instruction. It will help schools visibly improve teaching and learning by ensuring that every student becomes a strategic, confident, and independent reader.
