comprehension strategies
Typically, comprehension strategy instruction teaches students how to use certain techniques before, during, and after reading. Different techniques are used for reading different types of text. For example, we will primarily use the 5-Finger Retell when reading narrative text--that is a selection written as a story, whether fact or fiction. The K-W-L strategy is most often used for expository text--articles written to inform the reader.
The Think-Along/Think-Aloud strategy is also known as a Directed Reading and Thinking Activity (DRTA). Is teaches students how to think about what they are reading in order to better understand the text. DRTA is a comprehension strategy which can be used with all types of text. (Texas Education Agency)
You will not be introducing any new strategies. Each of these techniques will have been introduced by me. However, repetition helps to reinforce strategies and increases student retention.
