EDUA 5405 Comprehension Strategies for Reader
COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE READERS
Reading is not a passive activity and should be full of thinking, questions, reflections and synthesizing whether reading print or digital texts. The need for students to become effective readers goes beyond the expectations of Common Core Standards and state testing. Effective readers are also strong problem solvers, talented writers and deep thinkers. Teaching comprehension strategies is one way to empower your students to become effective readers.
This course will explore several comprehension strategies and their application in the classroom. You will also learn techniques for implementing the strategies during all phases of reading; before, during and after. Finally, you will investigate the power of think a-louds and read a-louds and gain insight into how to successfully utilize them in your classroom.
