  4. Session Goals Today’s Session • Explain why setting a purpose for reading and using comprehension strategies are essential for reading • Model reading strategies for students by thinking aloud

  5. Agenda

  6. Setting a Purpose for Reading • Who had the most challenging time with this activity? Key Point # 1 Students need to know why they’re reading before they start reading. They need a purpose to guide their reading Key Point # 2 Different disciplines have different purposes for reading, and therefore require different strategies for comprehension.

  7. What comprehension strategies do you use? What am I doing to comprehend and reach my purpose for reading? • Handout 2a: Biology • Purpose: To gain information about a biological process • Handout 2b: Math • Purpose: To gain information about a statistical method

  8. What comprehension strategies do you use? • As proficient readers, we (unconsciously) utilize specific reading strategies. • We need to TEACH these strategies to our students so that they become better and better readers and thinkers in our disciplines.

  9. Comprehension Strategies

  10. Jigsaw: Comprehension Strategies • Read about your group’s strategy. • On your poster: • Describe your strategy • Explain how it can help you with content area texts in MATH and SCIENCE. Group 1: Self-Monitoring Group 4: Inferring Group 2: Making Connections Group 5: Making Predictions Group 3: Asking Questions Group 6: Visualizing

  14. Think Alouds The Think Aloudis the moment in any great lesson where the teacher stops, pretends to be a student, and literally verbalizes what s/he is thinking while doing the desired activity.

  15. Think Alouds Key Point # 4 Thinking Aloud is the single best way for students to internalize thought processes & learn to apply comprehension strategies. • Think alouds must be: • Purposeful • Planned • In all your lessons

  16. Key Steps for Think Aloud Afterwards, ask: “What did you notice me doing to understand the book? How did that help me?” At pre-determined stopping points, stop reading & share your thoughts. Decide which comprehension strategy (or strategies) will best help readers comprehend the text or word problem. Teach your key points! Record your thoughts in same way your students will record their thoughts.
