This document discusses the importance of all teachers supporting reading comprehension and vocabulary development, even for teachers of non-reading subjects. It provides strategies and tips for effective comprehension instruction, such as thinking aloud, note-taking, questioning, summarizing, and using graphic organizers. Teachers are encouraged to model these strategies and create engaged readers by making learning words fun through activities like drawing pictures, gestures, and discussion instead of just looking up definitions. The goal is to help all students achieve academic success through intentional and purposeful reading instruction.
