Dependent readers fail to see reading as an active process. • More critical for dependent readers to talk about the text during the reading than after it. • Teachers must pull the invisible process of comprehension out to the visible level. • (Beers, 2003) What does research say about comprehension?
Provides struggling readers with a structure to teach them how to dialogue with the text • Allows for interaction with the text & self monitoring of understanding • As students are using this strategy they are: predicting, visualizing, making comparisons, repairing comprehension problems, commenting connecting, & questioning Think Aloud
Say Something • Interrupts a student's reading giving them a chance to think about what they are reading • Allows for interaction and responses with peers during text reading • Students are able to change roles and practice thinking aloud or responding to partners comments • Helps students make comments, predictions, connections and clarify understanding of text while reading
Variety of uses- vocabulary, compare/contrast, main ideas for chapters/novels • Allows for interactive reading and note taking • Students record VERY brief notes under the corresponding letter. ABC charts
reinforce knowledge and understanding by using key concepts, predictions, and writing • apply knowledge of story structures, as well as inferencing abilities, to predict the content of the selections • collaborative approach allows opportunity for students to engage in listening, speaking, reading, and writing • allows the teacher to emphasize vocabulary, comprehension, and writing within a single lesson Probable Passage
