The author states that there are many different strategies that we can teach students to use to comprehend and understand the meaning in text. One of these strategies is "Scales encourage students not only to think about but also to engage in discussions for what they've read"(143). Another strategy that the author outlines is called SWBS, or Somebody Wanted But So.
The SWBS is more engaging than to summarize the story, it gets students active and involved but at the same time essentially allows them to summarize what they have read. It also allows the students to make comments, voice concerns and interact with each other. These are both great ideas outlined by the author and could be very beneficial to all types of students in the classroom.
