Document Summary
Activate background knowledge prior to reading, monitor comprehension while reading, check for understanding after reading. Teach strategies explicitly through modeling and ample practice. Fluency - decoding with speed, accuracy, and expression. Cannot understand meaning of words in text and navigate spelling. Students must read and take in text, organize information, and construct meaning from it. Phonemic awareness - manipulate sounds in spoken language. Phonological processing - relationship between spoken and written sounds. Decode text with speed, accuracy, and expression. Each skill builds on the next - teach them all explicitly and systematically early on. Prereading strategies (text structures and subject matter) Sequence of events with characters, actions, goals, emotions, setting. Less skilled readers lack mastery of schema - need to be taught how text is structured and what relevant questions to ask as they read. Vocalize questions about important aspects about story info. Physical features - headers, bold print italics, tables, figures, etc.
