A New Edition of the Key Resource for Developing Excellent Readers, Learners, and Thinkers Across the Curriculum

The Second Edition of Thinkquiry Toolkit 1 offers teachers of students in grades 4 through 12 a collection of reliable instructional practices, student learning experiences, and collaborative routines proven to develop reading comprehension and vocabulary learning. The approaches in Thinkquiry Toolkit 1 have been used successfully by classroom teachers for the past 20 years in a variety of educational settings and locations. The updated second edition incorporates the instructional shifts fundamental to the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy (CCSS ELA & Literacy).

The Thinkquiry Toolkit explains the implications of the CCSS ELA & Literacy for content literacy instruction, and provides strategies and approaches that implement the instructional shifts in all classrooms. As teachers of literacy in all disciplines align their instruction to the CCSS, they need proven tools, approaches, and strategies to support their students?and Thinkquiry provides those resources.

This edition of Thinkquiry includes an overview of the CCSS ELA & Literacy and its instructional shifts as well as an explanation of how Thinkquiry's research-based, experience-tested strategies and approaches is a strong resource that helps students and teachers achieve the literacy goals of the Common Core.

In addition to the tools, strategies, and approaches, Thinkquiry provides a wealth of useful templates. For each of the tools presented, there is a set of examples of what the tool might look like "in action" and in various content areas. Classroom scenarios, at the end of each section, offer a vision of how the tools can be used in the classroom.

Thinkquiry Toolkit 1 gives teachers an essential resource to help students develop the confidence and skills they need to be excellent readers, learners, and thinkers. Look for Thinkquiry Toolkit 2, which will focus on strengthening writing strategies across the content areas.
