Reading is no longer a passive activity in my room. This week I have been reviewing the comprehension strategies. According to the pre-assessment I gave earlier in the week. Only a handful of students needed a review on visualization and making connections. I will continue to briefly review the remaining strategies this week, but my first areas of focus will be asking questions as we read and inferring.
I have been making charts for the class as we review.
Chart 1:
Lists all the strategies with a phrase to help them remember the purpose
Chart 2:
I see the movie in my mind because I know to visualize.
Chart 3:
Making connections to reading
Use schema
schema=background knowledge=the things I already know
text to self t>s connecting what I am reading to my life
text to text t>t connecting what I am reading to another text I've read
text to world t>w connecting what I am reading to world (ie movies, what's in the news, famous leaders)
Chart 4:
Asking Questions
I wonder...
Ask questions BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER reading
Thin questions: can be answered within the text...usually one word answers
Thick questions: can't be answered easily
Chart 5:
Inferring
background knowledge + evidence from the text=inference
Chart 6:
Summarize
The main idea of book.
Chart 7:
Synthesize
Creating new meaning from the text
