explicitly.

ComprehensionComprehension
Comprehension rests on metacognition—an
awareness of one’s thinking and understanding: Does it
make sense?
![Page 22: The Principal’s Reading Walk-Through: K-3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681437b550346895daff81a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Teachers who feel enabled to succeed with students are
more committed and effective than those who feel
unsupported in their teaching and in their practice.
