T- I think it is very important for students to be able to monitor comprehension, especially in being able to understand exactly where comprehension started to break down in order to be able to understand through strategy.
A- I don't know how much time should be spent on teaching different types of comprehension
G- group work would be beneficial to practice comprehension strategies

# data[].attributes.body
T- provides a variety of ways for students to monitor their own comprehension.

A-

Encouraging metacognition  is so important, even for our littlest learners! They love to share their thinking and ask questions about their reading/thinking! I liked their resources/explainations

Andrea. T- I liked how it simply explained reading comprehension strategies. It's good as a reminder, or for someone who is briefly wondering what comprehension is.

T - I liked how the article provided several examples of specific questions students might ask themselves or on another during reading.

A - Do you feel that the young learners we teach (especially k-1) are capable of metacognitition when they are in such early stages of word identification. How would your foster metacognition for your young learners?

G - You might explicitly teach younger friends how to think about their reading comprehension through the use of graphic organizers - I like the graphic organizers suggested in the article! :)

T- cool graphic organizers

A-does anyone know of a good online repository for articles?

G- lesson plans for teaching the question types

My suggestion is that these strategies work together to build habits of mind about reading. So, a classroom culture of thinking needs to be built and expected. These strategies will be an extension of that.

I liked that it was simple and a quick read. It gave the important information with links to other sites.

T- I liked how MONITORING COMP was at the top of the list. That what reading is...understanding!

A - I believe the release of control with a given reading strategy is KEY!

G - I suggest

T- I liked the reminder of the various types of questions that we can ask in order to elicit deeper thinking skills.

A- how would we model understanding to those In early primary yeaRs where the focus is on learning to read words and not necessarily comprehension

G- my suggestion is that to use all of these skills in a balanced way. Teach them in an integrated fashion so that students will adapt quicker!

Do you have ideas about how to sequence and scaffold teaching the seven strategies? Or, do you approach them simultaneously?

# data[].attributes.body
I liked that all the strategies really incorporate thinking and being mentally present while reading.

Seven Strategies to Teach Students Text Comprehension

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Comprehension strategies are conscious plans - sets of steps that good readers use to make sense of text. Comprehension strategy instruction helps students become purposeful, active readers who are in control of their own reading comprehension. These seven strategies have research-based evidence for improving text comprehension.
