3321 Lit For Public Schools Monday Night

Chapter focuses on reading comprhension, vocabulary. Both of these words coexists. If a student can't read the vocabulary then they will definitely not be able to comprehend what they are reading. Many teachers make the mistake of just having their students answer comprehension questions. Many times the students suffer because they struggle so much with reading vocabulary and their comprehension is even worse. Chapter 3 gives solid methods and strategies that can help build a student's comprehenision. There is retelling which the student retails the story the way they interpreted it or understood it. There is also story maps in which the students are able to draw out segments of the story. There is also comic strips which also allows students to draw out segments of the story. They do this by folding the paper into segments and making it look like a real comic strip. All of these strategies are helpful to students. I remember struggling when I was younger with reading comprehension. But one of my issues was not having any reinforcement after I read. Hopefully teachers are implementing these methods and strategies during reading time.
