My middle school student is a fluent reader, but is unable to comprehend what she read. How can I help?
Students who lack higher order information-processing skills can be taught the skills they need to successfully interact with text. Comprehension strategies include previewing text, activating prior knowledge, setting purposes, generating, verifying, and updating predictions, identifying text structure, imagery/visualization, and comprehension self-monitoring. Visual organizers can help students identify critical relationships within a text and build comprehension.
