COMPREHENSION INSTRUCTION Citrus: Literacy, Leaders, and Learners Developed by Becky Smith, David Jackson, and Debra Stanley
Literacy is… • Listening • Viewing • Speaking • Thinking using multiple symbol systems • Reading • Writing • Expressing
Maintain a print-rich classroom Use the seven processes of literacy Read to and with students Teach/model/practice strategies of expert readers and writers Require independent reading with accountability Instruct phonics & phonemic awareness for K-1, and for others who have not reached mastery Daily Non-negotiables
Comprehension: • The National Reading Panel sites that comprehension is an “active, interactive, strategic process that is critical to the development of reading.” Citrus County Schools, Florida
What do expert readers do? • Predict • Clarify • Visualize • Question • Connect • Summarize • Evaluate
How do we get there? “Expert teachers introduce strategies, explain their purpose, model their use, and provide time for students to practice until the students use them independently.”(Schwartz, 1997)
This is the framework… • Before Reading • During Reading • After Reading
Before Reading Strategies • Clarify • vocabulary • text structure • purpose • Connect • background knowledge • Question • Predict With graphic organizers
During Reading Strategies • Visualize • Question • Predict, clarify, predict, clarify… • Evaluate • comprehension • making connections • Summarize • begin with small chunks of text With graphic organizers
After Reading Strategies • Summarize • key points • Connect • ideas • Evaluate • text • personal extensions beyond the text • Question further With graphic organizers
Narrative/Expository cards • Before • During • After
