Strategy instruction is rooted in the work of Davi

Strategy instruction is rooted in the work of David Pearson and his colleagues. Here are specifics about the core set of seven strategies:

1. Activating background knowledge to make connections between new and known information. Reinforce text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world (Buddy quoted in Keene and Zimmerman, 2007).

2. Questioning the text. Sticky notes (post-its) are a great tool in for teaching students to stop, mark text, and note questions as they read.

3. Drawing inferences. Proficient readers use their prior knowledge about a topic to infer! Teachers/SLPs can demonstrate or model their reading processes for students through think-aloud s and often stop to predict what will happen next.

4. Determining importance. In the sea of words that is any text, readers must continually sort through and prioritize information. We can assist using bullets and headings and highlighting cues like strong verbs! Looking for these clues can help readers sift through the text.

5. Creating mental images. Teachers are using picture books with students of all ages, not necessarily because they are easy to read, but because the lush and sophisticated art in these books can be a great bridge for helping students see how words and images connect in meaning-making.

6. Repairing understanding when meaning breaks down. One of the most important fix-up tools is rereading, with teachers demonstrating to students a variety of ways to reread text in order to repair meaning.

7. Synthesizing information is so important. With this strategy, students move from making sense of the text, to integrating their new understanding into their lives and world view.

REFERENCE: Pearson, P. David, L.R. Roehler, J.A. Dole, and G.G. Duffy. 1992. “Developing Expertise in Reading Comprehension.”

Students who take specific steps to consciously id

Students who take specific steps to consciously identify motivations, causes, and linguistic connections are likely to comprehend better. Reading comprehension instruction should focus on guiding students to THINK ACTIVELY about the ideas in the text.

-previewing
-predicting
-self-questioning
-visualizing
-rereading
-identifying

have all been found to be beneficial because they prescribe actions that encourage students to spend more time thinking about the ideas in texts.

Teaching students to identify certain kinds of information when they read – information that is actually identifiable in lots of texts – can help as well (that’s where inference training succeeds).

"What does it take to teach inferencing?" -Timothy Shanahan
