How can you build comprehension skills? en-us 2016-06-07 02:47:29 UTC 2025-10-05 19:03:56 UTC hello@padlet.com yen_tran https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987145 Kids naturally ask questions about the world around them. It is also natural that they want to know the answers to their questions. I think that comprehension is a very important factor in inquiry because it can drive to more learning and questioning. 

I think I can build comprehension skills by continuing to ask questions like "What makes you say that?" "What evidence can you provide to support your answer?" "What else does this make you think about?"]]> 2016-06-07 18:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987145 adorne_rixford https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987256 Comprehension is an important factor to inquiry because in order to ask questions about a topic you need to be able to understand what it is that you are asking and understand what you have read and still have questions about. Students have to be able to read in order to comprehend. Comprehension skills can be built simply by reading, responding to what you have read, and talking about what you have read.]]> 2016-06-07 18:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987256 ms_wong24224 https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987318 When kids are understanding their reading and their researching in inquiry, they are learning, and that can build on or alter their knowledge structures.
I can build comprehension skills by teaching my students reading strategies, making sure that my students read everyday in class, and by giving students the opportunities to respond to their reading everyday.]]> 2016-06-07 18:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987318 jroyster1 https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987369 Comprehension is an important factor in inquiry because it summarizes all of the inquiries. In order to attain knowledge, one must answer the driving questions that originated in their minds. As the book stated, one can build comprehension skills by rolling out the Gradual Release of Responsibility model. This model allows the teacher to transfer the responsibility to the scholars, which is an ultimate goal.]]> 2016-06-07 18:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987369 obailey19 https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987461 Comprehension plays a significant part in inquiry. Students can create questions based on their prior knowledge and what they wonder about. As they generate questions, they will begin to inquire and want answers to their questions. Research is the next step in find answers to their questions. They must know how to read and comprehend what they are reading in order for the research to be valid. You can build on comprehension by building a love for reading. Students need to read daily to practice what they are seeing. ]]> 2016-06-07 18:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987461 jeanine_walker https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987501 Comprehension is an important factor for inquiry because you have to have a level of understanding in order to ask a question to gain a deeper understanding of a topic. A great way to build comprehension skills is to model for our students our thinking and strategies that we use as adults to comprehend a text. Read-A-Louds and explicit teaching of reading skills through gradual release is a way to build comprehension. ]]> 2016-06-07 18:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987501 teachgcps https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987633 I think that the 3 principles of reading that are mentioned in C&C are a good way to build comprehension skills.  Reviewing the principles makes me feel that I am on the right track as I use them in the classroom daily.]]> 2016-06-07 18:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987633 tahnya_sherwood https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987671 Comprehension is an important factor in reading because you need to understand what you are reading. It is important for learners to have the opportunity to talk about what they read everyday.  They can talk, draw, write about their reading to help them better understand the text they have read.  It's important to be able to model these strategies for the students.]]> 2016-06-07 18:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987671 amy_nixson https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987715 Comprehension is important because the more you read, the better you read.  After reading, responding should take place for comprehension purposes.  When teachers explicitly, it shows kids how the reading process happens.

We can build on reading comprehension by giving students authentic reading opportunities. Authentic reading involves explicit modeling, adequate time (reading immersion),quality materials, along with time for discussion.  The principles discussed in Grow Readers is a road map for what your workshop model should look. ]]> 2016-06-07 18:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_mcdonald/l1a0k8ov5ce4/wish/113987862
