This document outlines several strategies for teaching reading, including listen-read-discuss (LRD), story maps, retelling ropes, summarizing, inquiry charts, and question-answer relationship (QAR). LRD helps students comprehend text by having them listen, read, and discuss. Story maps use graphic organizers to help students learn the elements of books or stories. Inquiry charts allow students to construct their own questions and gather information from multiple sources. The strategies are grouped into observing, questioning, exploring, associating, and communicating sections.
