The goal of the Blue Ribbon Readers project is to support teachers and parents in their efforts to teach literacy to children. The collection of lesson plans and interactive materials is designed to improve word recognition and encourage reading comprehension in readers in kindergarten through fifth grade.
The 7 Keys to Comprehension
The reading strategies used in the Blue Ribbon Readers lesson plans and interactive materials are adapted from the book, 7 Keys to Comprehension: How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get It!, by Susan Zimmerman and Chryse Hutchins.
