I. Selected Summary: “ Reading for Understanding: An R&D Program in Reading Comprehension” ,[object Object]

An Interactive and Socially Situated Definition/Heuristic Reading comprehension is “…the process of simultaneously extracting and constructing meaning through interaction and involvement with written language. It consists of three elements: the reader , the text , and the activity or purpose for reading.”

III. What Do We Know About Online Reading Comprehension? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Possible Starting Points To Our Understanding

A Preliminary Model of Online Reading Comprehension (Castek, 2008; Coiro & Dobler, 2007; Coiro, 2007;Henry, 2007; Leu, Castek, Hartman, Coiro, Henry, Kulikowich, & Lyver, 2005 Leu; Kinzer, Coiro, & Cammack, 2004; Leu, Reinking, et. al, 2007) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Valid And Reliable Assessments of Online Reading Comprehension (ORCAs) (Castek, 2008; Coiro, 2007; Henry, 2007; Leu et al., 2005; Leu, Reinking, et. al, 2007). Issues: Practicality and Stability

Online and Offline Reading Comprehension May Not Be Isomorphic (r=0.19, n = 89, N.S.) Leu, D. Castek, J., Hartman, D., Coiro, J., Henry, L., Kulikowich, J., Lyver, S. (2005). Online Reading Comprehension = ORCA Blog Offline Reading = Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) of Reading Comprehension

Instructional Issues “Good instruction is the most powerful means of promoting the development of proficient comprehenders and preventing reading comprehension problems.” (RRSG, 2002, p. xvii) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Teacher Preparation Issues “…teaching is so complex that the current teacher education programs cannot adequately prepare novice teachers to engage in practice that reflects the existing knowledge base about reading.” (RRSG, 2002, p. 9) ,[object Object],[object Object]

Professional Development Issues “…students’ reading achievement will not improve unless teachers use that knowledge to improve their instruction.” (RRSG, 2002, p. xviii) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Assessment Issues “All of the research recommended by the RRSG depends on having better instruments for assessing reading comprehension.” (RRSG, 2002, p. xix) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

V. Two Important Policy Issues “How do national, state, and local policies and practices facilitate or impede the efforts of teachers to implement effective comprehension instruction?” (RRSG, 2002, p. 47) ,[object Object],[object Object]
