    What Your Colleagues Are Saying...

    Colleen offers literacy teachers a valuable comprehension instruction hack: help students get inside the brains of the writers they read by doing the same kind of writing themselves before they read. She argues convincingly that the more students understand how something was made, the better theyll understand it when they encounter it as readers. She doesnt just offer compelling research to prove it; she offers teachers dozens of paired lessons so that students will read and write information texts with more power. The lessons are streamlined to allow students maximum time for practice and application, and to help the busy teacher go from the page to the classroom quickly and almost effortlessly. I encourage all upper elementary and middle school teachers to give these lesson sets a try!

    Jen Serravallo, author of The Reading Strategies Book and The Writing Strategies Book

    Most professional books on teaching nonfiction focus on teaching writing or reading, but not both. In this unique book, Colleen Cruz shows us how to teach complementary writing and reading lessons that will help students use what theyre learning about nonfiction writing to help them become more powerful nonfiction readers.

    Carl Anderson, author of Hows It Going? and The Teachers Guide to Writing Conferences

    This book refuels your energy to think about the way you plan and teach reading and writing. Colleen holds strong to the tenets of workshopchoice, voice, and agencythen beautifully blends the lessons and theory with her vast experience in classrooms, new research on writing and reading, and the dance we do with it all now in the digital world. The structure of the book and the lessons are completely accessible for all teachers, the way Colleen believes the learning and craft to be accessible for all students. Its a game-changer for those looking to augment and reflect on their current workshop model and for those who are going to give it a go. Colleen is with you every step of the way.

    Sara K. Ahmed, author, speaker, and literacy coach at NIST International School, Bangkok, Thailand

    For Kathleen, my first true reading teacher. Your belief in the power of literacy, and the power it gives children and their teachers, seeps through every pore of this book. You are missed.

    Lesson 6: Writing: Using Structure to Convey the Writers Intent

    In this video, I model this lesson with one of the pilot classes. I show how, as writers, the students might consider ways to structure their writing purposefully.

    Video 2
    Lesson 6: Reading: Inferring the Authors Intent by Noticing Structure

    In this video, I model this lesson with the same class. I make the connection between what the students learned previously about crafting purposeful structures and how they can also identify these same structures in the informational texts they might read.

    Video 3
    Lesson 8: Writing: Structure Within Sections: Stacking Information

    I chose to film this lesson because most pilot teachers said that once theyd seen me demonstrate it, they got it easily. It is a lesson that sounds much more complicated on paper than it is in practice!

    Video 4
    Lesson 8: Reading: Identifying the Way Information Is Stacked

    This lesson is the sister lesson to the writing lesson, giving students an opportunity to use the same manipulatives they used in their writing work in their reading. This is one of those lessons that feels especially powerful when taught after its writing component.
