To become truly skilled at reading challenging text, students need to routinely use a set of seven cognitive strategies, or “thinking hats.” In turn, teachers need guidance in developing students’ ability to:

• Connect prior knowledge to new content
• Merge the written text with what is inferred
• Monitor comprehension and clarify misunderstandings
• Engage with authors, peers, and teachers
• Search sources to better understand the text
• Put the ideas in the text into their own words
• Use visuals to increase comprehension

This quick reference guide helps teachers communicate what should be happening in students’ brains as they read—a must-have for any literacy educator or coach.
