Author Information

In addition to Strategies That Work, Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis have collaborated on numerous Stenhouse videos for teachers that depict effective reading and thinking strategies in action in real classrooms. Anne has been a classroom teacher, a staff developer, and an adjunct professor. Steph has spent her career thinking and learning about reading and writing as an elementary and special education teacher and a staff developer. She is the author of Nonfiction Matters (Stenhouse, 1998). Together Anne and Steph created The Comprehension Toolkit series (Heinemann, 2016), a practical resource for comprehension instruction. Insatiably curious about kids’ thinking, they are teachers first and foremost and spend much of their time working with schools and districts to implement progressive literacy practices.
