Establishing a unified philosophical base• Literacy Instruction for English Language Learners

Metacognition
In her essay on the essence of understanding in reading, Ellin Oliver Keene (2007, 37) describes metacognition as…
“Listening to the voice in your mind that speaks while you read.”
The 7 Keys to Comprehension
• Monitoring for Meaning— knowing when you know, and knowing when you don’t
• Using and Creating Schemata — making connections between the new and the known, creating schemata when necessary
• Asking Questions— generating questions to prompt interpretation and to probe the text more deeply
• Determining Importance— deciding what matters most and is most worth remembering
• Inferring— combining background knowledge with information from the text to predict, conclude, make judgments, and interpret
• Using Sensory and Emotional Images— using images to deepen and stretch meaning
• Synthesis— integrating understanding with knowledge from other texts and sources.

“When educators offer smaller-scale parent activities
and infuse personal touches and authentic interaction
into outreach immigrant parents feel less intimidated,
and they respond with more open participation.” (Delgado-Gaitan, 2004)
