Comprehension Instructional Strategies

Comprehension strategies are different ways that we think while reading.
  • Activate prior knowledge or background knowledge. Students may not always know what somethings means until they can relate it to something they do know.
  • Making predictions
    • Making predictions and questioning what is happening in a story is a great way to improve comprehension. A student won't be able to make a prediction if they don't know what they are reading.
  • Visualizing
    • Have students imagine what it would be like for them (how would it feel to be trapped on a glacier after the wind blew away your tent), (how do you think the caterpillar felt after eating all the sweets - The Very Hungry Caterpillar)
  • Drawing Conclusions
    • Stories don't always tell us the exact end of the story, sometimes we need to draw conclusions, or read between the lines to know or understand what has happened.
