Supplemental Teacher Materials

Think Alongs" is a new series of reading books
across six levels (A-F) edited by Roger Farr as
part of his dynamic think along approach to
reading. As the title suggests, the main idea
behind these books is to encourage young readers
to pause at key points in their reading and try
to decide what they are "thinking" as a result of
the reading content input. Doctor Farr's approach
is actually much more detailed than that, and you
can find links to detailed explanations of the
approach from the editor himself. The Think Along
books are published and distributed by
Steck-Vaughn.
