What do good readers do?
Make predictions, use prior knowledge, relate the text they are reading to their own lives, build vocabulary, they dig deeper and think outside of the box. Active when they are reading, look at text structure, they infer, thinking constantly and reacting to the text of what they are reading, and the ideas they are getting from their ideas and the ideas of their peers.
How can teachers help develop comprehension?
Teaching comprehension strategies, building students vocabulary, engaging students in discussion and writing, allow them to discuss amongst their peers their ideas and allow students to evaluate the ideas of their peers and compare and contrast their ideas with one another, to broaden their horizons in comprehension. Build students’ knowledge base, and provide rich experiences in reading and comprehension.
How can teachers help their struggling readers?
Apply the same techniques and strategies they use when improving comprehension. The only difference is the teacher will make and enforce these techniques more strongly with the struggling readers and make it more intense. The teacher will also monitor and pay closer attention to the struggling readers to keep track of if they are making progress or not, and what they can continue to do for these students.
After watching this video, I was able to take many of the strategies and techniques and apply it to when I become a teacher and how I can use these ideas and strategies with my own students of the future. This video demonstrated how to help struggling readers, and how to help develop comprehension to all students inside of the classroom. These effective strategies play a huge role in a student’s academic life when it comes to reading and comprehension and it is our job as future teachers to make sure we enforce these strategies with our students to make them strong and effective readers.
