STRATEGIES RESOURCES ASSESSMENT
EVIDENCE 1. READING
1.1 Comprehension
1.1.1 Demonstrate ability to monitor comprehension for different
types of texts and purposes by using a range of self-
monitoring and self-correction approaches R–8–12.1 e.g.,
• predicting and confirming
• rereading
• adjusting rate
• sub-vocalizing
• consulting resources
• questioning
• skimming
• scanning
• using syntax/language structure, semantics/meaning, or
other context cues
1.1.2 Use comprehension strategies (flexibly and as needed)
before, during, and after reading literary and informational
text. EXAMPLES of reading comprehension strategies might
include:
• using prior knowledge
• sampling a page for readability
• summarizing; predicting and making text based inferences
• determining importance
• generating literal, clarifying, and inferential questions
• constructing sensory images (e.g., making pictures in one’s
mind)
• making connections (text to self, text to text, and text to
world)
• taking notes
• locating, using, and analyzing text features (e.g. transition
words, subheadings, bold/italicized print, parts of the book)
• using text structure clues (e.g. chronological, cause/effect,
compare/contrast, proposition and support, description,
classification, logical/sequential)
Models the following reading strategies
• using prior knowledge
• sampling a page for readability
• summarizing
• predicting and making text based
inferences
• determining importance
• generating literal, clarifying, and
inferential questions
• constructing sensory images (making
pictures in one’s mind)
• making connections (text to self, text
to text, and text to world)
• taking notes
• locating, using and analyzing text
features e.g. transition words,
subheadings, bold/italicized
• using text structure clues, e.g.
chronological, cause/effect,
compare/contrast, proposition and
support, description, classification,
logical sequential
• using metacognition strategies for
understanding text
Facilitates comprehension strategies
• making connections
• questioning
• visualizing
• inferring
• determining importance
• synthesizing information
• self-monitoring or fix-up
• predicting
• summarizing
Models the use of graphic organizers:
• sequence organizers (chains, cycle),
• concept development (mind map),
• compare/contrast organizers (Venn
diagrams, comparison charts),
• organizers (word web, concept map),
• evaluation organizers (charts, scales),
• categorize/classify organizers
(categories, tree)
• relational organizers (fish bone, pie
chart)
