Instructional Strategies
1. Reciprocal Teaching
2. Directed Reading-Thinking Activity
(DR-TA)
3. K-W-L Technique
4. Visual Imagery
As students develop reading fluency, word study takes less effort
and greater attention can be given to the meaning of text. Students
should be questioning while reading: e.g. What just happened?
What may come next? Did it make sense? Why did the character say that? What
does the author mean by using that word?
The ability to sequence, retell, summarize, and identify the main
idea contributes to developing comprehension skills. The following
instructional approaches provide a format for teaching some of these
skills. (Straight Talk About Reading, Hall & Moats, 1998.)
2) What makes you think so?
3) What clues did the author give you to predict that?
4) What did the author say that supports (or refutes) that?
5) Can you show me where in the text it gives you a clue?
6) Why do you think the author said that?
