Reading and thinking need to go hand in hand for students to become successful learners. The processes involved in thinking while reading must be modelled, practised, and infused into everyday instruction in all levels of education. There needs to be a balance between learning to read and reading to learn. Teachers are responsible for finding the strategies that work for all learners, differentiating the instruction and activities, and building a love of reading into our classrooms for students to master the complex action of thinking while reading.
