Harris, Karen R.; Pressley, Michael
Exceptional Children, v57 n5 p392-404 Mar-Apr 1991

Illustrations of self-instructional and other cognitive strategy instruction models are presented in the areas of reading comprehension, written language, and memory. Maintenance, generalization, and teacher implementation are also discussed. (Author/PB)
