TODAY’S AGENDA
• Blue Read Aloud• Shared Reading• Reciprocal Teaching• To do
![Page 3: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT DO WE TEACH TO IMPROVE COMPREHENSION?*
• Accurate decoding
• Reading Fluency
• Self monitoring of decoding (metacognition)
*Pressley, M. (2000). What should comprehension instruction be the instruction of? In M.L. Kamil, P.B. Mosenthal, P.D. Pearson, & R. Barr (Eds.), Handbook of Reading Research: Volume III (pp. 545-561). Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum.

BUT….
• Teaching decoding, fluency, vocabulary, etc. is not enough.

BALANCED COMPREHENSION INSTRUCTION…
• Comprehension instruction should be balanced:• Explicit instruction in specific comprehension strategiesAND• A great deal of time and opportunity for actual reading,
writing, and discussion of text
Duke, N.K. & Pearson, P.D. (2002)

HOW DO WE TEACH COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES?
1. Explicit instruction2. Modeling3. Scaffolded practice4. Independent opportunities to practice

SHARED READING
• POP QUIZ• On a piece of notebook paper jot down your own
definition (based on the reading. I need you to demonstrate that you actually read.) of Shared Reading.
![Page 8: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SHARED READING
• Modeling
• Access to the text for all students
• Active listening/observing
![Page 9: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
COMPREHENSION
• Why did the teachers focus on multiple comprehension strategies?
![Page 10: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
VOCABULARY
• Anything sound familiar?
• What are some of the ways teachers modeled “solving words”?
• Were these strategies consistent with what we have read and discussed?
![Page 11: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
VOCABULARY
• “Can you imagine me giving permission to my struggling readers to just skip it? I’d rather make sure that they were reading books they can read so that they can periodically solve unknown words like I do. If they are spending too much time solving unknown words, the book is too hard and they need to get a new one.”

TEXT STRUCTURE
• The way(s) authors organize information
Compare/Contrast Problem Solution Cause/Effect Sequence Descriptive Plot, Setting, Character, Conflict (Story Grammar)
• What does the organization of a text communicate to the reader?
![Page 13: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TEXT FEATURES
• Why do we need to model and explicitly teach how to use…?

EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION (OF STRATEGIES)
Before reading, provide • Declarative Knowledge: What strategy is to be
learned and used• Procedural Knowledge: How is that strategy
actually employed• Conditional Knowledge: When and why that
strategy should be used
![Page 15: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RECIPROCAL TEACHING
• Important Concepts• Graphic organizers• Basal series• Gradual release of responsibility• Zone of proximal development• Constructivism
![Page 16: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
STRATEGIES, STRATEGIES AND MORE STRATEGIES
• So the goal is to help our students develop a full ‘toolbox.’ But, they can’t just learn about the tools, they have to learn
how to use them, when they need to use them and which tools are most appropriate at a given time dependent on text structure, purpose and the level of difficulty.

COMPREHENSION UNDER CONSTRUCTION
• Roles of participants: Foreman: Teacher, in charge of background
knowledge and introducing roles Architect: Draws up blueprints of the building through
prediction Job-inspector: “Get-it goggles” help the inspector
clarify by attending to words and ideas Electrician: Questions to keep the group “wired” Bricklayer: cements understanding by summarizing
and connecting main ideas
![Page 18: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RECIPROCAL TEACHING (RT)
• Introduction of the Four Comprehension Strategies
↓• Teacher-Led Stage
↓• Collaborative Stage
↓• Reciprocal Stage
↓• Metacognition Stage
![Page 19: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
STAGES
1. Teacher-Led Stage: During this stage the teacher models the strategies
2. Collaborative Stage: Guided practice. 3. Reciprocal Stage: Independent within groups.
Roles are rotated on a lesson-to-lesson basis with attention to which strategies were implemented during reading group and/or self-selected reading.
4. Metacognition: Moving toward independent use of strategies and attention paid to which strategies were most effective.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
• Each group will be assigned a role:1. Architect (Predict)2. Job-inspector (Clarify)3. Electrician (Question)4. Bricklayer (Summarize)• As I read ch. 1 of Blue aloud, make notes of
predictions, vocabulary or ideas which may need clarification, questions you may have that would spark discussion, and main ideas to help you summarize the chapter.
• Share with the group and feedback.
![Page 21: Comprehension Strategy Instruction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161cf550346895dd1c3de/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
• Everyone will have a job in their small reading group.• As you read pages 19-27 in your small groups,
play your part to construct meaning. Make notes as you work together and evaluate which strategies you think are most effective for comprehending Blue.
