STRATEGIES
FOR
DEVELOPING
LITERACY
Briz, Niño B.

2. LITERACY STRATEGIES
A literacy strategy requires a particular
method of instructing students in reading and
writing. Literacy strategies should be
implemented beginning in kindergarten in
sequential order, as well as throughout the
elementary years. In some cases, extending a
literacy strategy to older students may be
necessary.

3. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE BASIC STRATEGIES TO
DEVELOP LITERACY?
Students that can't read effectively fail to
grasp important concepts, score poorly on
tests and ultimately, fail to meet educational
milestones. Literacy skills allow students to
seek out information, explore subjects in-
depth and gain a deeper understanding of
the world around them.

4. MAKING CONNECTION
with literary text does not come automatically for students. Like other literacy strategies,
making connections should be taught explicitly through teacher modeling, repetition, and
practice. There are typically three types of 'connections' students will be asked to make when
reading a text. These include text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world.

5. MAKING CONNECTIONS
Basic strategies 5
TEXT-TO-SELF
• refers to making a connection
between one's life and the text
one is reading.
TEXT-TO-TEXT
• connections require linking text
from one book to a text in a
different one. Instructors can
use compare and contrast
strategies for this type.
TEXT-TO-WORLD
• connections require linking a
text to a real-world event.

6. VISUALIZING
is a literacy strategy that requires students to make mental images in their minds. This
technique is also known as 'imagery'. As a text is read, students are asked to picture what the
author is describing. The use of metaphors, similes, and allusions may be discussed, as well
as descriptive language. All five senses may be activated when reading a text that is full of
imagery. Identifying imagery in the text should transfer to writing skills as well.

7. QUESTIONING
Is an essential literacy strategy that enables students to self monitor their textual
understanding. If a reader simply decodes the words without asking what the text is saying and
clarifying its meaning, comprehension will lost.

8. DETERMINING IMPORTANCE
allows us to move through a text coherently, developing a line of thinking that helps our reading
make sense.” Tanny McGregor, author of Comprehension Connections: Bridges to Strategic
Reading, once explained determining importance to a class by providing a memorable visual.

9. SYNTHESIZING
is the process of pulling together background knowledge, newly learned ideas, connections,
inferences and summaries into a complete and original understanding of the text. When
students synthesize, they are made aware of how their thinking changes and evolves as they
read a text.
