Rocks in His Head . More Information . More information . Teaching PreK-8 Magazine . This month let's use selections from good literature to strengthen comprehension strategies.
Good readers interact with text without even realizing that they are doing it.
Poor readers often are unaware that this is what they are supposed to do. They read literally without bringing in prior knowledge. Reading a piece of material as a group and then gleaning meaning from that selection together is a helpful reading activity for many. Choose interesting material. Make overhead transparencies of the selections that are clearly visible so that everyone can look at the material at the same time.
