Comprehension involves understanding written or spoken language. It is the ability to grasp meaning from context and perceive information. Good readers use various strategies before, during, and after reading to aid comprehension, such as setting goals, making predictions, monitoring understanding, connecting to prior knowledge, asking questions, and summarizing. Comprehension strategies taught include recognizing text structure, predicting, monitoring, connecting to background knowledge, asking questions, summarizing, and constructing mental images. Promoting language skills, actively engaging students, providing explicit instruction, and emphasizing strategy transfer can help readers at all levels improve their comprehension.
