Executive skills and reading comprehension : a guide for educators Kelly B. Cartwright ; foreword by Nell K. Duke.
"How do K-12 students become self-regulated learners who actively deploy comprehension strategies to make meaning from texts? This cutting-edge guide is the first book to highlight the importance of executive skills for improving reading comprehension. Chapters review the research base for particular executive functions/m-/such as planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control/m-/and present practical skills-building strategies for the classroom. Detailed examples show what each skill looks like in real readers, and sidebars draw explicit connections to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)"-- Provided by publisher.
