Objectives • You will understand and be able to describe the different subskills needed in order to read efficiently. • You will be able to differentiate between reading instruction that takes place in the language arts class and reading support that is needed in content classes. • You will understand why students need instructional support before, during, and after reading. • You will know how to use activities to “scaffold” reading in your classroom so that your students will be more successful.

  4. What Is Reading? Activity • On a sentence strip, write a one-sentence answer to the question, “What is reading?”

  5. What subskills make up the act of reading? • Word identification • Sound/symbol connections • “sight” words • Making meaning of text • Knowledge of words and word parts • Sentence and paragraph comprehension • Interacting with the text • Interpreting and analyzing text • Recognizing author’s purpose and point of view • Accepting or resisting author’s implied message

  6. Word Identification Srprsngly, mst pple cn rd ths txt. Most people learn to read by applying the rules of phonics and/or by memorizing word shapes, but with practice, the rules become internalized and one reads at the level of automaticity.

  7. Making Meaning of Text Roadblocks: • Lack of word knowledge • Unfamiliar words • Insufficient knowledge of word parts (prefixes, suffixes, roots) • Words with multiple meanings • Poor fluency • Failure to interact cognitively with the text • Resistance to reading (perpetuates cycle) • Reduced requirements/expectations by teachers

  8. Interacting With Text • English/Language Arts teachers and reading specialists teach metacognitive strategies: • Monitoring for meaning • Using prior knowledge • Questioning • Determining importance • Inferring • Using mental images • Summarizing • Predicting

  9. Interacting With Text • English/Language Arts teachers and all content area teachers use teaching strategies to support students in reading: • Before-reading strategies • During-reading strategies • After-reading strategies • Why should content teachers use reading comprehension strategies? • Because comprehension strategies are thinking strategies, and they result in better understanding and retention of course content

  10. Before-Reading Strategies Good readers use before-reading strategies: • Preview text • Activate prior knowledge • Make predictions Reading comprehension depends upon making connections with schema. To ensure optimal comprehension, teachers must use before-reading strategies

  11. Before-Reading Strategies • Word Splash • Probable Passage (before- and after-reading) • Anticipation Guides (before- and after-reading)

  12. During-Reading Strategies Good readers use during-reading strategies: • Monitor their comprehension • Make connections • Determine importance • Make predictions • Ask questions To ensure optimal comprehension, teachers must use during-reading strategies

  13. During-Reading Strategies • Reading Quads • Re-Reading • Predicting vs. Knowing (before, during, and after)

  14. After-Reading Strategies Good readers use after-reading strategies: • Summarize • Reflect • Analyze • Evaluate To ensure optimal comprehension, teachers must use after-reading strategies

  15. After-Reading Strategies • Word Sort • Tea Party (before- and after-reading) • 3-2-1 • Text Reformulation

  16. Culminating Activity • Word Splash: working in groups of four, discuss words & write predictions • Read selection using “Reading Quads” • Reformulate text: • Comic book • Letter • Interview • Story • Newspaper article

  17. Useful Websites • Greece School District in New York State has posted a number of reading strategies with details on how to use them on this site: http://tinyurl.com/2uavq
