Our Objective • We will discuss comprehension, schema, and independent reading. Key Vocabulary • Comprehension • Schema • Independent Reading
Schema! What’s Key for kids? • Readers activate their prior knowledge before, during, and after reading. • Readers use schema to make connections between the text and their lives (T-S), between one text and another (T-T), and between the text and the world (T-W). • Readers distinguish between connections that are meaningful and relevant and those that aren’t.
Schema pg. 2 • Readers build, change, and revise their schema when they encounter new information in the text, engage in conversations with others, and gain personal experience. • Readers use their schema to enhance understanding.

Beginning Reading Strategies • Look at the picture. • Get your mouth ready! • Think about the meaning of the story. • Go back and reread. • Read around the word and then go back and reread. • Find chunks you know.
Strategy Chart When I come to a word I don’t know I can… • Thinkabout what has happened so far to help me guess what the word might be. • Predictwhat the word might be and try it in the sentence to see if it makes sense. • Skip the word for now and keep reading to see if the author gives e any more clues. • Look more closely at the beginning of the word to see if the letters give me a clue about what the word might be.
