The Thinking Reader

“I highly recommend The Thinking Reader for any educator looking to inspire critical thinking and deep engagement in their students’ reading. With a focus on building relationships and understanding each student’s unique reading needs, it’s an invaluable resource for creating a classroom culture that values both reading and reflective thinking.“

—Lance Schnaus, Principal, Arthur C. Newby Elementary

“This is a teacherly book, and I mean that in the most positive way! It is by a skilled teacher, designed to build teacher knowledge of the brain and metacognition and why they matter in daily literacy instruction. This book is practical and handy. You’ll want it on your desk all the time!”

—Meredith Liben, Reading Done Right, author of Know Better Do Better: Comprehension and Know Better Do Better: Foundational Skills

“Practicing educators seeking to support and understand their students’ development as engaged, metacognitive readers will benefit from the accessible explanations, insights, and pedagogical guidance shared in The Thinking Reader.”
