These lessons help! When students have a choice, it allows them to answer a question based on the information that they know, and not based on what they think a teacher wants to hear. -- Ida Ferrazzano What is beautiful about using these text structures to respond to text is that students go back into the text to support their thinking. This is what we want. We sat them to support their responses with evidence from the text. This makes it easy. -- Malene Golding * Education Consultant and Adjunct Professor at University of Houston - Clear Lake * The results of using text structures? Miraculous! -- Sheryl Stewart * Grade 9 Teacher, A&M Consolidated High School * One of the things I appreciate most is that these lessons will prepare students for the tests without the typical test-prep materials. -- Dawn Lyssy * Director of Elementary Instruction, Pearland ISD *
