Strategies to use during reading |
If the child has trouble decoding words, try
To monitor the student’s comprehension
(understanding) of the text:
Stop from time to time
to ask questions. What do you think will happen next or why do you think
this happened? Pay attention to the student’s reaction to the text while reading. Does the student laugh at funny parts? After sounding out a word does the student look puzzled? (they probably don’t know the meaning of the word and often, struggling readers will not ask!) Does the student say things like “I didn’t know that” or “I thought that was going to happen!”? These types of reactions show the student is engaged and understanding what they are reading
