To develop an understanding of comprehension strategies in order to encourage your child to become a more ‘thoughtful reader’. Discuss strategies to support comprehension Discuss strategies to support comprehension Discover how to become an effective reading coach Discover how to become an effective reading coach

Please read the short text and answer the comprehension questions: In “A Quantum Threat to Special Relativity,” David Z Albert and Rivka Galchen question the viability of special relativity because quantum mechanics demonstrates nonlocality, which special relativity does not allow. But the most successful physical theory we have-quantum electrodynamics-is a fully consistent amalgam of both theories that correctly predicts the results of practical experiments. Answer - Explain what you learned from the text. -What did you discover as you were reading this short text?

What did you experience: What could you do? What were your challenges?

What Does It Mean To Be Literate? “A highly literate person is constructing meaning all the time while anticipating reading, during reading, during pauses from reading, and after reading- sometimes long after. A real reader tends to recall books read many years before and sometimes brings new understanding to those texts in the context of the present. Comprehension is the vital, central core of the broader and more complex ability to reason. Irene C. Fountas & Gay Su Pinnell

WHY is comprehension so important? “Comprehension is the process when readers are engaging in complex systems of strategic, in-the-head actions in response to text. We cannot see strategic actions, but we can look for evidence that they are occurring in the reader’s head. We can look at reading behaviors and hypothesize what readers are able to do as they think their way through a text. Instruction (Coaching) supports the actions that happen in the heads of individual readers.” Irene C. Fountas & Gay Su Pinnell

Strategies to support comprehension: You can help your child through prompts at home… Checking your understanding.

Strategies to support comprehension: You can “Coach” your child at home… Developing Inferences Developing Inferences -Character motivation and feelings. -Character motivation and feelings. If feelings or motivations are not stated in the text… If feelings or motivations are not stated in the text… why did the character do that? why did the character do that? Ex. “Cam Jansen and the Tennis Trophy Mystery” Ex. “Cam Jansen and the Tennis Trophy Mystery” -The author leaves something out in the middle and children don’t understand how to fill in what happened. Children don’t realize what was missing because they are not monitoring their understanding of the story. -The author leaves something out in the middle and children don’t understand how to fill in what happened. Children don’t realize what was missing because they are not monitoring their understanding of the story. Ex. “Porkenstein” Ex. “Porkenstein” How do you know?

Strategies to support comprehension: You can “Coach” your child at home… Questioning Questioning -children should be developing their own questions at higher levels (quadrant) -children should be developing their own questions at higher levels (quadrant) -children need to recognize when their questions have been answered or not in the text. -children need to recognize when their questions have been answered or not in the text. -children should be able to answer higher level questions.
