“The Comprehension Toolkit series is designed to help
students negotiate nonfiction text, to think about what
they are reading, and to hold that thinking so that they
understand and remember it—and use it to guide new
learning and thinking.”
Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis

6 Strategy Clusters
“Reading comprehension occurs when readers engage
in an inner conversation with the text, merge their
thinking with it, ask questions, infer, think about
what’s important, and summarize and synthesize.”
Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis

Informational Text
“If kids are not reading engaging, interesting, thought-
provoking text, why bother? We need to provide kids
opportunities to read text worth thinking about.
Students need a steady diet of texts that present a
variety of perspectives, opinions, and interpretations.”
Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis

The Comprehension Toolkit
Built-In Professional Support
“The Comprehension Toolkit provides an alternative to
the traditional ‘assign, memorize, and correct’ curriculum.
Instead it emphasizes responsive teaching.We continuously
watch, listen, keep track of, and document our students
learning, stepping in with additional support as we
determine it’s needed; pulling back and letting kids take
the lead when they show us they know how.”
Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis
