Begreppet exekutiva förmågor betecknar en uppsättning mentala verktyg som vi använder för att sköta uppgifter och nå mål. Utvecklingen av exekutiva förmågor har en signifikant koppling till barns talspråk och ordförråd. Därför är det knappast någon överraskning att de exekutiva förmågorna också är kopplade till läsförståelse.Läsförståelsen är grunden för allt annat lärande i skolan. Utan god läsförståelse kan eleverna inte fullt ut ta till sig, leva sig in i ­eller reagera på litteratur. Inte heller kan de tillägna sig ny kunskap från texter inom naturkunskap, matematik eller samhällskunskap om de inte förstår vad de läser. Kort sagt är läsning ett tänkande – ett aktivt och oerhört komplext tänkande.Cartwright belyser de exekutiva förmågor som aktuell forskning visat vara avgörande i läsförståelseprocessen och diskuterar vilka ytterligare frågor som man fortfarande söker svar på. I varje kapitel beskrivs också hur elevers exekutiva förmågor kan stimuleras och utvecklas i undervisningen under hela skoltiden. Exekutiva förmågor och läsförståelse vänder sig till lärarstuderande och verksamma lärare i alla skolformer.

How do K-12 students become self-regulated learners who actively deploy comprehension strategies to make meaning from texts? This cutting-edge guide is the first book to highlight the importance of executive skills for improving reading comprehension. Chapters review the research base for particular executive functions--such as planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control--and present practical skills-building strategies for the classroom. Detailed examples show what each skill looks like in real readers, and sidebars draw explicit connections to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Reproducible planning and assessment forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

This pioneering book is now in a revised and expanded second edition featuring the latest neuroscientific knowledge and instructional strategies. Kelly B. Cartwright provides a teacher-friendly explanation of executive skills--such as planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control--and their role in reading comprehension. Detailed examples illustrate how each skill is deployed by strong comprehenders and ways to tailor instruction for students who are struggling. The companion website features reproducible planning and assessment forms from the book as well as supplemental card sorts to teach and assess cognitive flexibility, all ready to download and print in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.New to This EditionUpdated throughout with advances in theory, research, and instruction. Chapter on word recognition, with particular attention to dyslexia. Information on the development of the brain's reading network. Expanded emphasis on oral language comprehension. Appendix of intervention studies; online-only supplement with card sorts to teach and assess cognitive flexibility.

This practical book guides educators to nurture, scaffold, and assess young children's executive skills (ES)--critical building blocks for social–emotional well-being and school success. The authors explain how ES are linked to self-regulation and the development of play, language, literacy, and behavior skills in 3- to 8-year-olds, including those with disabilities. Every chapter discusses ways to create playful learning opportunities and classroom routines that support both ES and academic growth. The book's utility is enhanced by vivid vignettes, Questions to Ponder and Discuss, and video links. It also guides teachers to cultivate their own vital ES capacities; the Appendix includes a reproducible/downloadable self-assessment tool.
