How do students become thoughtful, independent readers who comprehend text at a deep level? To find the answers, authors Keene and Zimmerman embarked on a journey into the thought processes of proficient readers--a journey through poems and essays, classrooms and workshops, humor and reflection. Mosaic of Thought chronicles the journey, which ultimately led the authors to elaborate on eight cognitive processes identified in comprehension research and used by successful readers.
