Comprehension Defined
Comprehension: The Goal of Reading
Reading Comprehension is an essential of
skills. The ability to read information
proficiently is going to lead you a difficult life.
Strategies for Reading
Comprehension
The process of comprehending text begins before
children can read , when someone reads a picture
book to them . They listen to words ,see the
pictures in the book, and may start to associate the
words on the page with the words they are hearing
and the ideas they represent.

Previewing ...

When Students preview text, they


tap into what they already. Know
that will help them to understand
the text they are about to read. This
provides a framework for any new
information they read.
Identifying the main
Idea and Summarization
Identifying the main idea and
summaring requires that students
determine what is important and then
put it in their own words. Implicit in
this process is trying to understand
the author’s purpose in writing the
text.
Visualizing
Studies have shown that students who visualize
while reading have better recall than those who
do not ( Pressley , 1977 ). Readers can take
advantage of illustrations that are embedded in
the text or create their own mental images or
drawings when reading text without illustrations.
Strategies for Reading
Comprehension :
Narrative Text
Narrative text tells a story, either
a true story or a fictional story.
There are a number of strategies
that will help students understand
narrative text.
Story Map
Teachers can have students diagram the
story grammar of the text to raise their
awareness of the elements the author uses
to construct the story.
Story Map
Setting – when and where the story take place.
Characters – the people or animals in the story ,
including the the protagonist whose motivations and
actions drive the story.
Plot – the story line , which typically includes one or
more problems or conflicts that the protagonist must
address and ultimately resolve.
Theme – the overriding lesson or main idea that the
author wants readers to glean from the story.
Example of Story Map
Questioning

Asking and answering questions about the text is


another strategy that helps students focus on the
meaning of text. Teachers can help by modeling
both the process of asking good questions and
strategies for finding the answers in the text.
Retelling
Asking students to retell a story in their own
words forces them to analyze the content to
determine what is important. Teachers can
encourage students to go beyond literally
recounting the story to drawing their own
conclusions about it.
Answering Comprehension Questions

Asking students different types of questions


requires that they find the answers in different
ways, for example, by finding literal answers in
the text itself or by drawing on prior knowledge
and then inferring answers based on clues in the
text.
Strategies for Reading
Comprehension :
Expository Text
Expository text explains facts
and concepts in order to
inform, persuade, or explain.
The Structure of Expository Text
Expository text is typically structured with visual
cues such as headings and subheadings that
provide clear cues as to the structure of the
information. The first sentence in a paragraph is
also typically a topic sentence that clearly states
what the paragraph is about.
Expository text also often uses one of five common
text structures as an organizing principle:
• Cause and effect
• Problem and solution
• Compare and contrast
• Description
• Time order ( sequence of events, actions or steps )

Teaching these structures can help students recognize


relationships between ideas and the overall
intent of the text.
Predicting
When students make prediction
about the text they are about to
read, it sets up expectations based
on their prior knowledge about
similar topics.
