For those who are interested, I recommend a google search for Michael
Pressley starting at:

(http://www.google.com/search?q=Michael+Pressley&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
&start=0&sa=N)

The document, Summing Up:  What Comprehension Instruction Could be? is a
quick bulleted overview that could be easily incoprporated into teacher
training workshops and seminars.

The document, Transactional Stategies by Pressley and others is a quick two
page overview that can be equally valuable for teacher development.

Comments on Reading for Understanding:  Toward an R & D Program in Reading
Instruction is a more in depth 7 pager that contains a lot of food for
thought.

In addition, you will also find a much more extensive (45 pages, with
references) paper that was commisioned by the National Reading Conference
titled Effective Reading Instruction.  It includes a 2 page Executive
Summary.  This paper raises a lot of critical issues about the National
Reading Panel as well as containing a lot of good information about reading
instruction.
