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)
