  2. Click & Clunk • Analogy: when a car is going smoothly, the car is clicking along but when the car hits a pothole, it clunks. • It is a useful way to motivate students to become involved in looking for meaning. • It is a strategy that students use to signal comprehension difficulties to themselves and to the teacher. • Students read silently to themselves then say “click” for each word, sentence and passage to show they understand. • When they read a word, sentence and passage they do not understand, they say “clunk”.

  3. Clicks • Portions of the text that are easy to understand. • Done so that the students can verify they understand what they’re reading • Designed to teach students to pay attention to what they are understanding

  4. Clunks • Problem portions that are difficult to understand • Strategies may be listed on a chart or bookmark • If a student gets stuck, they can use a post it and go back to it later

  5. What To Do • When reading, the primary task is to find the meaning of the reading, not to decode the reading. • When a student is reading orally and makes an error, do not immediately correct him or her—let the student have the opportunity to correct him/herself. • If the student does not correct him/herself, the teacher should ask questions like: • Would [unknown word] or [incorrect alternative] fit here? Why?

  6. What To Do • In order for student to develop monitoring and repairing strategies students need plenty of opportunities to practice and apply them. • Students need an accepting environment that encourages them to not be afraid of making mistakes. • The teacher needs to schedule lessons that teach monitoring and repair strategies and be alert for opportunities to do “on the spot” teaching/ reinforcement.
