What is Reading Comprehension?

Reading comprehension skills separates the "passive" unskilled reader from the "active" readers.

Skilled readers don't just read, they interact with the text.

Benefits of Good Reading Comprehension

Reading comprehension skills increase the pleasure and effectiveness of reading.

Strong reading comprehension skills help in all the other subjects and in the personal and professional lives.

High stake testing control advancement through elementary, middle, and high school and determine entrance to college.

Congress decides to mandate good reading skills

Congress charged the National Reading Panel (NRP) with researching “the effectiveness of various approaches to teaching children to read.“

They wanted to find out what methods work best for reading improvement

Tactics that work

We are using the following strategies that work for reading comprehension:

.Mind Mapping . Direct instruction

. Use of decodable texts

. Embedded skills instruction

. Integrated reading and writing

. Access to quality literature

. Whole-class instruction

. Teacher modeling

Speed ReadingDevelop "traditional" old fashioned speed reading habits

first

Once thoroughly ingrained it will allow the student to input and scan information quickly

Reading becomes habitualized at mostly an unconscious level.

In this version of speed reading, rather than the incoming flow of information being the focus of attention, active cognitive processes that organize information dominate.

See references to “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell

Mind Mapping

Basically going through information in order to find the major concepts

A student can create a visual Mind Map or a Linear Mind Map

Really helps for studying for tests in general

LISTENS –even when he doesn’t seem like it

HAS GOOD RECALL

Chunking Reading

Basically highlighting chunked portions of the reading in order to read faster

Students practice reading the highlighted areas faster and faster until they reach the desired speed and comprehension levels

Vocabulary

Vocabulary is important to not only reading, but writing.

Studying and utilizing vocabulary helps reading comprehension

It is also very important for the verbal SAT
