Mosaic of Thought is the original comprehension strategy book inspiring many teachers to give comprehension instruction the attention it's due. The cover pictured here is the second edition. If you haven't read the book, I would recommend the first edition, if you can find a used copy. Keene and Zimmerman blend personal stories about themselves as readers with information about the reading process written in a friendly, yet professional style. I first read this book in 1999, and it impacted my thinking greatly. This book sparked an interest in comprehension that has stayed with me to this day. In fact, it was from the ideas in Mosaic that I made connections to Internet reading, thus leading to much of my research and professional writing.
