Introduce four powerful comprehension strategies--Predict, Question, Clarify, and Summarize--with these unique, richly detailed puppets, and watch even the youngest students improve their comprehension skills. Each 12" tall puppet has its own engaging personality and role to play in developing meaning from text:

• Paula the Powerful Predictor thinks about what will come next
• Game show host Quincy Questioner asks questions about text
• Clara Clarifier monitors understanding
• Friendly cowboy Sammy Summarizer lassoes the main idea

Exclusive guide written by national literacy consultant and bestselling author Lori Oczkus shows you how to use your puppets for reciprocal teaching with the whole class, guided reading groups, or reading buddies. Includes classroom tested minilessons, reproducibles, puppet patterns, and much more, to make comprehension strategies come alive with any book you are reading.
