Working collaboratively in small groups, students apply the four main CSR steps

• CLICK AND CLUNK: Students note terms they find difficult (called "clunks") and work through them until they're understood (turning them from "clunks" to "clicks")

• GET THE GIST: Students explain in their own words the main idea of a sentence or paragraph

• WRAP UP: Students review the text and construct questions about it, helping them boost study skills and prepare for exams

Questions and practices aligning with the Common Core Standards are also provided. Bonus web content includes a PowerPoint presentation on CSR and short video clips.

"CSR has truly made a difference with our students. It is a systematic process that can be replicated and easily integrated into our curriculum. The result has been an increase in student comprehension, translating into increases in scores across all content areas."?Chris Ulcak, principal, R.C. Barton Middle School, Buda, Texas
