Understanding and Engagement and Reading With Meaning: Teaching Comprehension in the Primary Grades to teach the six comprehension strategies listed above. Those books were my "bible" for teaching comprehension. Below are more resources that will help you plan comprehension instruction! Some tips for teaching these comprehension strategies: Model each strategy whenever you are reading text to or with children, such as during a read aloud, guided reading, content area text, independent reading, etc. Keep anchor charts of your thinking as well as students' thinking. If you are going to use post-it notes, as mentioned in many books, please keep in mind that children will overly concentrate on the post-it notes instead of the strategies themselves. Although post-it notes are great ways to jot down their thinking, expose them to other ways of recording their thoughts, such as a reader's response journal, T-charts, graphic organizers, etc.

Children make personal connections with the text by using their schema (background knowledge). There are three main types of connections we make while reading text.
Text-to-Self (T-S) refers to connections made between the text and the reader's personal experience. Text-to-Text (T-T) refers to connections made between a text being read to a text that was previously read. Text-to-World (T-W) refers to connections made between a text being read and something that occurs in the world. It is important to activate children's schema (background knowledge) before, during, and after reading.

Questions help students clarify and deepen understanding of the text they are reading. Teachers should model coding of the different types of questions. Codes for questions vary according to different authors and books on comprehension strategies. Use codes that suit your students' needs. You can even create your own codes with your students' help! Look at this page for more information on this questioning strategy. Another questioning strategy that is similar is Question-Answer Relationships (QAR). Click here for more information.

Mental pictures are the cinema unfolding in your mind that make reading three-dimensional. Visualization helps readers engage with text in ways that make it personal and memorable. Readers adapt their images as they continue to read.

Thinking evolves through a process. Reader's thinking changes as they gather more information. New information makes the reader re-evaluate their schema to form new schema. Here is an excellent picture of synthesis. Click to enlarge.
