The document outlines seven strategies for improving English comprehension: 1) Monitoring comprehension by identifying what is understood and resolving confusion. 2) Using metacognition to identify difficulties and restate passages in one's own words. 3) Creating mental images to visualize text. 4) Generating questions to check understanding. 5) Repairing breaks in meaning through re-reading. 6) Drawing inferences using prior knowledge and predictions. 7) Synthesizing information by identifying main ideas, connecting them, removing unnecessary details, and remembering what was read.

Comprehension
Seven Strategies
To understand
text
comprehension.

3. 1. Monitoring comprehension
 Be
aware of what they do understand
 Identify
 Use
what they do not understand
appropriate strategies to resolve
problems in comprehension

4. 2.Metacognition OR
"thinking about thinking."
 Identify
where the difficulty occurs.
 Identify what the difficulty is.
 Restate the difficult sentence or passage
in their own words.
 Look forward in the text for information
that might help them to resolve the
difficulty

5. 3.Creating mental images.

Readers are constantly creating mind
pictures as they read, visualizing action,
characters, or themes.

6. 4.Generating questions
 By
generating questions, students
become aware of whether they can
answer the questions and if they
understand what they are reading.

7. 5. Repairing understanding
when meaning breaks down.
 The
best way to do this is by RE-READING

8. 6. Drawing inferences.
 Proficient
readers use their prior
knowledge about a topic and the
information they have gleaned in the text
thus far to make predictions about what
might happen next. When teachers
demonstrate or model their reading
processes for students through thinkalouds, they often stop and predict what
will happen next to show how inferring is
essential for comprehending text.

9. 7. Synthesizing information
OR Summarizing
 Identify
or generate main ideas
 Connect the main or central ideas
 Eliminate unnecessary information
 Remember what they read
