Defining Comprehension Strategies and Instructional StrategiesMarilyn Velez
Comprehension strategies are behaviors used by students to aid understanding of texts at different thinking levels, from literal to critical. Instructional strategies are methods teachers use to support comprehension, including collaborative grouping and offering text choices. The lesson plan example used the synthesize strategy and collaborative grouping to develop critical thinking about character development. Both comprehension and instructional strategies are necessary to help all students become successful readers.
Strategic teaching uses literacy strategies before, during, and after reading to maximize student understanding and retention of content. It is necessary because student performance declines in middle and high school without explicit comprehension instruction. The strategic teacher plans engaging lessons with clear outcomes in mind and uses strategies like activating background knowledge, questioning, summarizing, and graphic organizers. Some example strategies discussed are quick writes, exit slips, marking texts, and partner discussions to connect with texts. The goal is to benefit all students through purposeful planning and use of multiple strategies.
This document discusses various reading comprehension strategies for both teachers and students. It describes instructional strategies teachers can use, such as think alouds, to model comprehension for students. It also discusses comprehension strategies students can implement, like graphic organizers and question answer relationships. The document emphasizes that these strategies provide students with a "toolbox" to improve their reading comprehension by giving them techniques to actively engage with texts.
This document discusses metacognition and its role in reading comprehension. It defines cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies, with metacognitive strategies being goal directed, intentional mental processes used to accomplish reading tasks. Metacognition involves three types of knowledge: self, task, and strategy knowledge. It also involves planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's reading. The document reviews studies showing metacognitive strategies help proficient and less proficient readers. It provides examples of metacognitive strategies used during reading like inferring, questioning, monitoring comprehension and visualizing. It concludes explicit instruction in metacognitive strategies can help students at different levels become self-directed learners.
This document outlines various reading strategies that students can use before, during, and after reading. Some pre-reading strategies include previewing vocabulary words, using KWL charts to identify prior knowledge, and doing picture walks to make predictions. During reading, students can use strategies like prediction relay, SQ3R, jigsaw, and story mapping. Post-reading strategies involve exit tickets to assess comprehension, questioning the author, summarizing, and discussing with partners. The purpose of these strategies is to help guide students' understanding and engagement with texts.
The document discusses reading strategies and skills, defining strategies as conscious, deliberate actions used to achieve comprehension goals, while skills are automatic unconscious processes. It also covers metacognition, or thinking about one's own thinking, and the role of metacognition in reading, which involves planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's comprehension and strategy use. Effective reading instruction should teach students strategies through modeling, practice, and feedback to help them become independent strategic readers.
This document discusses metacognition, which is defined as "thinking about thinking" or "learning how to learn." It provides details on metacognitive knowledge and regulation. Metacognitive knowledge involves knowledge about cognitive processes and what can be used to control them, including knowledge of personal learning styles, tasks, and strategies. Metacognitive regulation refers to monitoring one's learning as it occurs. The document outlines teaching strategies to develop student metacognition, such as having students self-monitor, use specific learning strategies, make predictions, and develop questions about their learning.
This document provides descriptions and instructions for implementing various before, during, and after reading strategies. It discusses strategies such as first lines, concept sorts, peer-assisted learning, think aloud, think-pair-share, concept maps, double entry journals, story maps, SQ3R, reading guides, exit slips, question-answer relationships, questioning the author, summarizing, and frame routines. For each strategy, it explains why the strategy is beneficial and how to implement it in the classroom, with a focus on engaging students, improving comprehension, and assessing understanding.
Narrative reading comprehension instruction typically begins with narrative texts like fables and fairy tales because children are familiar with story structures at an early age. Teachers model comprehension strategies like asking questions, making predictions, visualizing, summarizing, and discussing stories in a group. As students work on narrative texts, teachers guide them to connect the stories to their own lives and world knowledge. Effective comprehension instruction of narrative texts should begin as early as students start reading and continue through high school, with assessments used to diagnose needs and guide further instruction.
Metacognitive knowledge involves awareness of one's own cognition as well as knowledge about cognition in general. It includes knowledge of strategies for learning, problem solving, and thinking. Strategic knowledge encompasses general learning strategies like rehearsal, elaboration, and organization. Metacognitive knowledge also includes knowledge of cognitive tasks and conditions for using different strategies, as well as self-knowledge about one's own strengths, weaknesses, and motivation. In contrast, metacognitive control processes involve monitoring, controlling, and regulating one's cognition during learning.
Assessment involves ongoing processes to gather evidence of student learning and use that information to improve instruction. The document discusses 3 types of assessment: formative assessment which is part of daily teaching, summative assessment which evaluates learning at the end of a unit, and authentic assessment which applies skills over time with student involvement. Effective assessment involves clear learning goals, criteria students understand, and feedback to support future learning.
Metacognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking. It involves awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes. There are two main components - knowledge about cognition and regulation of cognition. Knowledge of cognition includes knowledge about strategies that can be used for different learning situations. Regulation of cognition refers to skills such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's comprehension. Metacognitive skills are essential for effective learning as they allow students to consciously monitor and manage their learning.
This document defines and provides examples for the words summon, nuisance, sedentary, oblige, boast, and sway. Summon means to call for someone to come, nuisance refers to something bothersome, sedentary involves sitting down most of the time, oblige is to help someone, boast is telling others wonderful things about oneself, and sway means to swing slowly back and forth.
This document discusses using games to teach vocabulary. It explains that games can help lower students' affective filters, promote active participation and problem solving, and cater to different learning styles. It then provides an example lesson plan that uses several vocabulary games, including ambiguous pictures, association, matching, and crossword, to teach occupation-related vocabulary to 5th and 6th grade students. The games are designed to engage students physically and intellectually while reinforcing the new vocabulary terms based on theories of multiple intelligences, learning styles, constructivism, and total physical response.

The document describes the Metacognitive Model of Strategic Learning proposed by Chamot in 1999. The model organizes learning strategies to help students and teachers. It consists of four metacognitive processes - monitoring, problem solving, planning, and evaluating. Various strategies are described for each process, such as setting goals and self-management for planning, taking notes and talking through tasks for monitoring, using resources to solve problems, and checking goals and evaluating strategies for evaluation. Teachers are encouraged to explicitly teach these strategies to help students develop conscious control over their learning.
This document discusses various instructional strategies to support reading comprehension for intermediate and advanced literacy learners. It describes graphic organizers and the Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy, which help students visualize relationships in text and determine where answers are located. Explicit instruction is also discussed as an effective approach where teachers directly explain, model, and guide practice of comprehension strategies until students can apply them independently. Making connections by activating prior knowledge is another highlighted strategy shown through research to improve reading comprehension.
The document discusses comprehension strategies and instructional strategies to support intermediate literacy learners. It defines comprehension strategies as sets of steps good readers use to understand text, such as monitoring comprehension, metacognition, using graphic organizers, answering questions, and summarizing. Instructional strategies are teaching methods that engage students, such as think-aloud and think-pair-share strategies. The document also summarizes a ReadWriteThink lesson that uses metacognition and character trading cards to teach the book Bridge to Terabithia.
This document outlines various reading strategies that can be used before, during, and after reading to improve student comprehension and engagement. Some strategies described include semantic mapping, KWL charts, think alouds, paired summarizing, word walls, and journal responses. The strategies are designed to activate prior knowledge, build background, encourage questioning, monitor understanding, and allow students to reflect on what they've learned. Implementing these strategies provides opportunities for students to engage with texts on a deeper level.
This document discusses strategies for teaching reading in science classes. It summarizes research showing that reading strategies are most effective when students read challenging texts and have reasons to use the strategies. When teachers work across subjects, students can practice strategies in different contexts. Content teachers should make their discipline's reading and writing conventions clear. Quality reading activities can support content learning as much as other activities. The document proposes identifying reading strategies used in other classes that could also help with science comprehension, and modeling their use through think-alouds.
The document discusses components of effective secondary reading instruction. It recommends that secondary schools provide at least 90 minutes of daily intensive reading instruction using small group differentiated teaching. Key components include teacher modeling of reading strategies, small group instruction tailored to student needs, independent reading practice, and engaging students with diverse texts. Schools should also focus on developing student motivation through choice and making content relevant. Effective infrastructure includes extended time for literacy, ongoing professional development, and teacher collaboration to support struggling readers.
This presentation discusses 15 reading strategies divided into categories of before, during, and after reading. It provides definitions and examples of each strategy. Some of the strategies discussed include previewing text, activating prior knowledge, identifying text features, previewing vocabulary, making predictions, monitoring comprehension, using concept maps, jigsaw activities, questioning the author, using the frame routine, and teaching question-answer relationships. The purpose is to define numerous literacy strategies and provide examples of how to implement them at different points in the reading process.
This document discusses metacognition, which refers to thinking about one's own thinking. It defines metacognition and explains its two components: metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation. Metacognitive knowledge involves knowledge about cognitive processes, while metacognitive regulation refers to using strategies to monitor and regulate one's cognition. The document outlines three categories of metacognitive knowledge according to Flavell: person variables, task variables, and strategy variables. It provides examples to illustrate each variable and discusses the differences between novice and expert learners, with experts employing more metacognitive strategies.

Editor's Notes
Welcome! Denise and I are secondary regional reading coaches for the Alabama Reading Initiative. This year marks the beginning of a new focus for education in Alabama. 14 schools have been chosen to be part of an initiative in the middle and high schools called ARI Project for Adolescent Literacy. A key factor in promoting adolescent literacy is strategic teaching. Today you will learn about the part that strategic teaching plays in adolescent literacy, the defining features of this, how to recognize strategic teaching in a classroom, and participate in strategic lessons.
Notice the term literacy strategies, meaning that strategic teaching is used in all content areas, every day, every class. It is a process, not a program, a way of thinking and organizing a lesson. We tell teachers, strategic teaching isn’t just about teaching reading, it is about maximizing one’s students ability to comprehend content material. It is not isolated strategies, but connections are made before, during, and after reading so that students learn that reading is purposeful and active at all stages. It doesn’t isolate skills such as vocabulary or writing but makes these an integral part of comprehension. The teacher’s purpose for each lesson guides the strategies used.
Kids are doing well at the elementary level, but achievement declines as they go through middle and high school. Turn and talk to a neighbor about the reasons for this decline.
Strategic teaching will benefit all students. Everyone encounters text that they can’t handle. We as teachers need to provide literacy tools for these students to take with them after they leave our classroom. Struggling readers – 5-10 percent that need extreme intervention (decoding). 10-60% that are poor comprehenders, need leveled text and good strategies via strategic teaching. These students needs can be addressed through strategic teaching. And lastly, expanding readers that still encounter difficult text and need ways to deal with that text successfully.
Strategic teaching is able to address each of these at one point or another. The connection to comprehension is made through the connections of before, during, after reading strategies.
What makes strategic teaching extremely effective is that connections are made before, during, and after reading. Everyday those kids are engaged in each of these phases. Not, Monday is a day to activate prior knowledge…Tuesday, we read, and Wednesday we access. Purposes….
Frequently the part left out the most, replace with well meaning teachers that summarize information, write it up as a study guide, and lecture. During reading activities are purposeful and active.
Before and after do not take much of the class period but are vital. Before – 10 minutes, During – 30, After 10, if that much.
To make all of this happen smoothly, these ideas must become part of a philosopy, a way of thinking about student learning.
