R.I.T.E. Reading: Constructing Meaning by Finding What’s “Wrong” in an Informational Text
Keith Polette
If the “gift of reading” is to flourish for gifted and talented students, it must, as Katherine Paterson says, be “nourished.” And, while it is true that gifted and talented students usually have little trouble reading, especially in the areas that interest them, many of them need further guidance when it comes to developing strategies that lead to deeper levels of comprehension and enjoyment. If we are to offer such guidance and nourishment, we must give our students regular doses of metacognitive “vitamins” and rhetorical “minerals.” These vitamins and minerals are especially important in supporting the ways students learn to grapple with, and thus make sense of, informational texts.
