This chapter by Nancy Frey and Doug Fisher emphasizes that simply providing students with complex texts is insufficient for fostering understanding. It presents scaffolded instruction methods to effectively transfer cognitive responsibility to students. Key components include re-evaluating text types, qualitative evaluations of text complexity, and the importance of close reading to develop critical thinking skills. Strategies such as collaborative conversations, purposeful modeling, and an independent reading staircase are highlighted to enhance comprehension and assess student performance effectively.
