About This Lesson
The Garfield Think-Aloud Series: Reading Strategies for the Emergent Reader is a research-based program created to enable teachers to demonstrate the thinking processes that a competent reader uses when encountering an unknown word or when the meaning of the text is not clear or has been disrupted. A goal of this series of books is to make reading strategies transparent for students. By observing the teachers monitoring, questioning, problem-solving, and self-corrections, beginning readers are provided with the "handrails" they need to apply these strategies to their own reading.
