This site is no longer maintained. Please use the New Learning to Learn Reading Reading Comprehension Strategies Skilled readers use a wide range of strategies while reading. Some of these include the SQ3R technique, flow-charting, summarization, questioning and predicting. Of particular interest is the ability of learners to learn reading strategies, and how these strategies should be taught. Bereiter and Bird (1985) conducted two studies which investigated strategy use while reading. In the first they transcribed think aloud protocols of expert readers (university students thought out loud while reading) and found four central strategies they use when comprehension fails: Restatement: rephrasing using inferred equivalents where unknown words appear paraphrasing in simpler terms inferring superordinate propositions paraphrasing with inserted referents periodic summarization Backtracking reread from beginning of confusing segment reread previously comprehended parts Demanding relationships setting watchers (ie wh questions) Why? (cause and effect)

FACT SHEET Product: Stanford Reading First Purpose: Stanford Reading First provides a valid and reliable assessment solution focused on reading results in kindergarten – grade 3. Developed from the SESAT 1 (K.0 – K.5) through Primary 3 (3.5 – 4.5) Reading and Listening subtests of the Stanford Achievement Test Series, Tenth Edition, Stanford Reading First specifically addresses the need to measure outcomes in developing reading. Questions were selected from Stanford 10 to measure the five essential components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, reading fluency, and reading comprehension strategies. Teacher-administered measures of oral fluency were also developed. In addition to measuring the standards specified by Reading First, the test aligns with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the International Reading Association (IRA) and National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Standards , and state content standards. Questions at each level are carefully designed to mirror as closely as possible the developmental process of good instruction and the kinds of instructional activities and materials used in exemplary programs. Benefits: Provides assessment that addresses specific requirements of Reading First Offers valid, reliable, and research-based assessment

How do we teach children to comprehend more difficult and varied texts? Until recently, we had few answers. But research from recent decades has provided a general outline of how to effectively teach reading comprehension. 1. Effective comprehension instruction requires purposeful and explicit teaching. Effective teachers of reading are clear about their purposes. They know what they are trying to help a child achieve and how to accomplish their goal. They provide scaffolded instruction in research-tested strategies (predicting, thinking aloud, attending to text structure, constructing visual representations, generating questions and summarizing). Scaffolded instruction includes explicit explanation and modeling of a strategy, discussion of why and when it is useful, and coaching in how to apply it to novel texts. 2. Effective reading instruction requires classroom interactions that support the understanding of specific texts.

It contributes significantly to achievement in the subjects of the school curriculum, as well as in formal and informal speaking and writing. Most people feel that there is a common sense relationship between vocabulary and comprehensionmessages are composed of ideas, and ideas are expressed in words. Most theorists and researchers in education have assumed that vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension are closely related, and numerous studies have shown the strong correlation between the two (Baker, 1995; Nagy, 1988; Nelson-Herber, 1986). Although the opportunities for vocabulary instruction are especially pronounced in language arts and reading, vocabulary instruction properly belongs in all subjects of the curriculum in which learners meet both new ideas and the words by which they are represented in the language. This Digest will consider several viewpoints on teaching vocabulary, offer some strategies for implementing vocabulary teaching, and suggest some sources for further reading.

Strategic Processing of Text: Improving Reading Comprehension of Students with Learning Disabilities. ERIC/OSEP Digest #599. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC While 20 years ago research on the reading comprehension problems of students with learning disabilities focused on difficulties with decoding text, researchers today view such problems as arising from difficulties across a wide range of language and thinking activities (Swanson and Hoskyn, 1998). They recognize that some students have mastered the mechanics of reading but still have comprehension problems. This type of problem may not be evident until the higher grades when comprehension challenges increase. Although students with learning disabilities may have the ability to process information, they do so with great inefficiency. It is not atypical for students with learning disabilities to be unaware of basic strategies that good readers use as a matter of course, such as re-reading passages they don't understand.

Below you will find a summary of both of these books, printable activities and charts, lessons that relate to the books, and books that will help you teach comprehension! One year later, I read Strategies that worked. This book tells how to teach your students to think while reading (through think-alouds) and gives many minilessons for teaching comprehension. This book is divided into three parts: Part 1, THE FOUNDATIONS OF MEANING, explains how research based comprehension strategies support and enhance student learning; Part 2, STRATEGY LESSONS AND MORE, focuses on strategy lessons, response options, and assessment practices; Part 3, RESOURCES THAT SUPPORT STRATEGY INSTRUCTION, numerous resources listing picture books to use for teaching each of the seven comprehension strategies. Throughout the book, the author's talk about " anchor lessons " and the importance of using the first lessons as a way for students to remember a specific strategy and apply it. The idea of anchor lessons really assist the student in learning and applying the strategies taught! This book teaches us that we want our students to come to realize how important their thinking is when they read.

Strategy Instruction For Increasing Reading Comprehension Edwin S. Ellis reprinted with permission Teaching Adolescents with Learning Disabilities Second Edition T STAGE 1: PRETEST To pretest the student, teachers collect two types of information in the form of permanent products: product measures and process measures. Product measures concern the actual level of the student's comprehension of specific reading passages. Thus, product measures are attained by evaluating the student's comprehension of main ideas and details presented in the previously read passage. A rough estimate of comprehension can be attained by having students respond to a set of written comprehension questions that address the content read by the student. Process measures concern how well students are able to follow the strategic process to be taught. Process measures of paraphrasing ability are determined in part by evaluating students' verbalizations about each paragraph in relation to performance criteria. The performance criteria for evaluating students' paraphrases developed by Schumaker, Deshler, and Denton (1984) are: Must be in the student's own words Must contain only one main idea per paragraph Must contain two details Information in paraphrase is meaningful Complete sentence Information is new To attain this measure, students are asked to read text passages from mainstream textbooks written at their grade-placement level. Each passage should contain a minimum of five paragraphs. Students are asked to read one paragraph at a time silently, to turn on a tape recorder, then to tell the recorder what the main idea and two details were for the paragraph just read, and finally to turn off the recorder. This process is repeated for each subsequent paragraph in the passage. Later these statements can be analyzed and compared to the performance criteria to produce a "paraphrasing score."
