Teaching Strategies for Mastery Diane Stegall

"Teaching Strategies for Mastery" is an excellent book that will benefit both the student and the teacher. It contains various strategies that will enhance students' reading and math skills greatly! The strategies are designed to make the students process information. There is a lot of terminology used to help associate the skills or objectives being taught. The terminology is highlighted at the beginning of the book so that it can be used as a reference. This is very crucial and extremely helpful as students move up from one grade to another, or new teachers come into the system. As the terminology and strategies are implemented within a classroom, the students will apply what they are doing in one subject area to all other areas. This is an outstanding process for correlating your curriculum throughout the school or district. New teachers also benefit from this greatly since everything is in the book and can be referred to. The book has guided practice and independent practice sheets for each strategy being taught in math and reading. Posters are also available to order. They will provide you with visuals you can display in your classroom to help teach the strategies that all your students must have.
