  1. Workshop#9 Reading Part II Strategies on how to read for comprehension Presented by Garine Palandjian

  2. Goals of workshop • Develop an understanding of how information is organized while I read • Identify reading strategies to help understand what I am reading • How to use reading strategies with my assigned readings.

  3. Agenda for workshop “A very good place, to start!” • 1:00-1:30pm Theory of reading strategies • 1:30-2:00pm Methodology of reading strategies • 2:00-2:15pm Break • 2:15-3:00pm Activity • Break into small groups with sample readings • Discuss reading in groups • Draft summary and share with group • Review process • 3:00-3:30pm Final Wrap up

  4. Theory on reading for comprehension

  5. How readers process and store presented information Cognitive theory • “a reader comes to the reading task with a vast storehouse of existing knowledge.” (Cook & Meyer, 1983)

  6. More on cognitive theory and reading comprehension • Performance on quizzes and class discussions are dependent upon a person’s memory and comprehension, examining the way memory operates is imperative.”(Pelech & Hibbard, 2011, p. 100) • Pelechand Hibbard (2011) refer to a study by Craik and Tulving, which finds “…the importance in the processing of information, not the structure of the memory. Subjects in their study who actively processed information remembered more than other subjects…(p. 100)”

  7. Knowing about knowing Metacognitive Reading Theory • According to Dolly (2004), metacognitive ready theory is “the importance of personal awareness and continuous regulation of cognitive behavior during the reading process.(p.53)” • “proficient readers are purposeful and strategic” • “seek to make meaningful connections in their reading” • “requires readers to clearly identify reading purposes, identify relevant prior knowledge, identify important components of a message, selectively direct attention to the more important contents of a text…monitor content for consistency…” Dolly, D. R. (2004) Developing Metacognitive Reading Strategies with College Students. Language Arts Journal of Michigan. 20, 2, pp. 53-56

  8. “Too often, poor readers complete the reading assignment by decoding the words on the assigned text, butthey have not understood.” (Dolly, 2004, p.53)

  9. “How does metacognitive behavior translate for the purposes of readers in college?” (Dolly, 2004, p. 53) • “strategic behavior has been shown to have links to higher achievement at the college level.” • Studies of colleges students reading behavior: “students with higher grade point averages remembered establishing more reading goals to guide the reading assignment and used reading strategies more often than their peers with lower grade point averages.” (Dolly, 2004; Taraban, Rynearson & Kerr, 2000) Dolly, D. R. (2004) Developing Metacognitive Reading Strategies with College Students. Language Arts Journal of Michigan. 20, 2, pp. 53-56

  13. Download Natural Reader Software • Reads while you follow or read along • Can convert to MP3 and have this on your headphones • Can hear the correct pronunciation • Change the speed of the reader (and voice)

  14. Taking the SQ3R* Reading Method…a step further • Survey • Looking through the pages, titles, section titles, etc. • Question • Write questions to help guide you through your reading. FURTHER • What did you discuss in class, read in your last assignment and how does this text draw upon this or extend this information? *Adapted from: The Learning Centre, The University of New South Wales. [PDFdocument] Retrieved from: http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/onlib/pdf/sqw3r.pdf

  15. Read • Read through the information without making notes/highlighting; then reread. FURTHER • Pay special attention to the structure of the text, introduction, first sentence and last sentence of paragraph, and extract main ideas. • Recall • Write down what you remember about what you read. • Being able to write what you read into your own words helps you recall and relate to the text! FURTHER • Explain it to someone else; start a study team or find a study partner. • Review • Read through your notes and questions *Adapted from: The Learning Centre, The University of New South Wales.

  16. The “I” Graphic Organizer Topic: Main Idea: How do I use this? Read section Determine the topic – if its given, just write in Main idea – in your own words, how would you explain what this section is about? Details – in your own words, what are the supporting details from this section? Summary – using this information, can you develop a short paragraph about this section? Do not use the text itself. Only refer to these notes. Details: Summary:

Active Reading Strategies • Note-taking* • Summarizing • Underlining • Highlighting • Post-it notes (or stickies) • Notes on edges of copies/book pages *“Note-taking activities may serve not only to focus attention but also to limit the amount of attention available during learning.”(Cook & Mayer, 1983, p.106)
