Appendix B: Reading Comprehension Strategies Research on reading has shown that comprehension is a process that can be taught directly. When a student has the opportunity to use a comprehension strategy repeatedly, he or she eventually will begin to use it automatically and independently. Reading research has also shown that comprehension can be enhanced by collaborative learning—small- and large-group dialogue in response to open-ended questions. In The Art of Teaching Reading , Calkins (2001) suggests that literary interpretation can be taught: “ The difference between experienced readers and the rest of us is that the experts have the strategies, the tools, and the inclination to extend and deepen their responses to a text .Teaching interpretation means teaching students a process that, for the rest of their lives, will yield big, thoughtful responses to texts” (pp. 477-478). In the “ Reading and Responding to Literature ” lessons in Voices from the Field, we use a recurring set of questions proposed by Calkins to strengthen interpretation and divergent thinking about a text, as well as selected comprehension strategies from reading research.These are summarized below. Strengthening Students’ Interpretation Skills: Calkins (p. 478) notes that the first interpretation strategy good readers use is to ask themselves any one or two of the following questions:

SHELTERED LESSON PLAN Sheltered English is a technique used to teach second language students. This technique first teaches vocabulary and then teaches the lesson. By using a constant vocabulary and set of facts, second language students can learn grade level content area. Often they have already studied the area in their own language, so now they are learning new words for knowledge they already possess. A lesson begins with pictures and the learning of vocabulary. Remember to also use demonstrations a way to develop understanding. All learning is second language acquisition. To learn physics or calculus a student must know the vocabulary. Students, who have been to school, arrive with knowledge. Have them draw to show what their previous knowledge is. It is possible more than one lesson will be needed to learn the vocabulary. Spiral learning constantly reviews previous information then introduces new information then returns for review of already introduced information. Continue to repeat and add to the vocabulary. In presenting the lesson, have chosen the 5-8 basic facts you expect the student to learn. Provide guided practice with you or a helper giving support and encouragement.
