Classroom Strategies
Explicit strategy instruction
is at the core of good comprehension instruction.
"Before" strategies activate students' prior
knowledge and set a purpose for reading. "During"
strategies help students make connections, monitor
their understanding, generate questions, and stay
focused. "After" strategies provide students an
opportunity to summarize, question, reflect,
discuss, and respond to text. Teachers should help
students to understand why a strategy is useful, how
it is used, and when it is appropriate. Teacher
demonstration and modeling are critical factors for
success, and student discussion following strategy
instruction is also helpful.
