Proficient readers are able to express, through a variety of means, a synthesis of what they have read. The synthesis includes ideas and themes relevant to the overall meaning from the text.

A synthesis is the sum of information from the text, other relevant texts and the reader's background knowledge, ideas, and opinions produced in an original way.

Proficient readers use evaluation to share, recommend, and critically review books they have read.

A short "Into the Book" student activity is useful to demonstrate how this strategy might be used.
