Reading for Depth and Complexity: Implementing the Icons in Your Instruction
Sandra Kaplan's Icons for Depth and Complexity are among the most widely used instructional strategies for guiding gifted readers and thinkers. While resources for the icons abound, finding meaningful ways to implement them in your instruction can be elusive. When the Icons are implemented effectively, they are a powerful tool to move your students' thinking beyond surface level understandings. This presentation will provide teachers with practical ways to both implement the icons, and also utilize them with common comprehension strategies such as visualization, questioning, and summarizing.
