Reading comprehension instruction was a “mentioning”of the strategies than actual direct instruction. This resulted in an increase in research and development in reading comprehension. The National Reading Panel reviewed over 200 studies on reading comprehension and concluded that students in the elementary, middle school, and high school benefit from direct instruction of reading comprehension. Teachers of all levels must teach reading comprehension strategies.  \nStudents learn in different ways. In order to meet these needs, teachers must teach a variety of strategies to give students the opportunity to increase their reading comprehension. Different readers rely on different strategies to help them gain better understanding. Teachers must encourage their students to think about which strategies they are using and to choose strategies that best enable them to gain meaning from reading.  \nStrategies for Decoding Words  \nDecoding words is the process of determining what a word is. The following are strategies that help children decode words.  \n􀂙 Use phonics skills to sound out words.  \n􀂙 Look for smaller words within the word.  \n􀂙 Look for “chunks” or “word families” within the word.  \n􀂙 Think about words that rhyme with the unknown word.  \n􀂙 Look at pictures for clues.  \n􀂙 When pictures are unavailable, think about what is happening in the story.  \n􀂙 Use the meanings of other words to help figure out unknown words.  \n􀂙 Skip the word, read to the end of the sentence and go back to the unknown word to determine what word would make sense.  \nMaking Predictions is a reading comprehension strategy that is used before text is read. It actively engages students by allowing them to share their thoughts about events, actions or outcomes that are confirmed or contradicted within a story. Students make predictions before and during reading. Their predictions may be based on titles, picture clues, written text, and/or by activating prior knowledge. Activating prior knowledge is one of the most effective ways of improving reading comprehension and should be used in every reading comprehension strategy.  \nWhen using the Prediction Strategy with your child, begin by looking at the pictures on the cover of the story. Have your child discuss what he/she thinks the story is about by looking atthe pictures and describing what is happening. Questions to discuss may include,“Tell me what you think is happening on the front cover.”“Who are the characters in the story?”“How do you think the characters are feeling?”“Why do you think they are feeling this way?”“Where do you think the story takes place?”“Describe the setting.”“When do you think the story takes place?” These are just a few of many questions that can be discussed.  \nYou can also activate prior knowledge by asking the children to use what they already know to make predictions. For example, if a child sees a story cover where there is a picture of a bare tree with dead leaves on the ground, the child will activate prior knowledge by predicting that the story takes place in the fall because the child knows what trees look ","cbCaivI96FuO8UmA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivI96FuO8UmA","pdf",661933,22,"English","# Why Teach Reading Comprehension Strategies?\n# Strategies for Decoding Words\n# Making Predictions\n# Making Connections\n## Text to self\n## Text to text\n## Text to world","[{\"question\":\"Why should teachers teach reading comprehension strategies directly?\",\"answer\":\"Research reviewed shows that students benefit from direct instruction.
