One of the hallmarks of an educated mind is the ability to think critically and analytically about what is read, seen, or heard; in effect, to look beyond the words to the message that lies within. That very ability is the essence of deep comprehension and the theme that weaves through the pages of this thoughtful and invaluable book by Millis, Long, Magliano, and Wiemer. Given the complex and often confusing world in which we find ourselves, there is no more essential topic to be explored than what it means to understand text-in its many forms-deeply. This edited volume not only seeks to address that timely topic, but also to arm educators with the knowledge required to measure depth of understanding accurately and to facilitate students' engagement in deep learning effectively. There is no more thorough treatment of these vital topics than Deep Comprehension-a must read for anyone who values the ability to think beyond the words read, seen, or heard to the message that lies within.
