Into the Book/Behind the Lesson
Reading Comprehension Strategies with Accompanying Professional Development Videos
2006, produced by the Agency for Instructional Technology, Wisconsin Public Television and the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board with funding from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Into the Book is a multimedia teaching resource designed for primary grade students to enhance reading comprehension and ability to think and learn across the curriculum. The nine Into the Book student episodes feature an extraordinary classroom where a group of ordinary students use powerful learning strategies to enter the world of the story. These 15-minute programs show student viewers how to use these strategies when reading fiction, nonfiction, or everyday text. They also model real-life applications of the strategies.
In the professional development videos, we go Behind the Lesson as teachers demonstrate how they are using these strategies effectively with their students. The nine ten-minute programs combine actual classroom footage with dialogue and personal reflection on instructional practices.
