Kylene and Bob understand research and real classrooms, which is why their work continues to be essential. Students scoured the text to find support for their thinking, and struggling readers succeeded with texts that would have otherwise been discarded as too hard. These strategies awaken our critical eye and direct us to explore text elements that we might otherwise ignore. Kylene and Bob show us how we can attend to the demands of the CCSS and support engaged, attentive, independent readers.---Darl Kiernan, PhD., literacy trainer, Northwe
