Reading Comprehension...........
What it is:
Reading Comprehension is simply students understanding and interpreting what they read. Students who can comprehend texts well can decode the text well, can use cognitive strategies to remember important ideas/facts, and can make connections between what they already know, to the new text they have just read. Lastly, reading comprehension involves combining reading with thinking and reasoning. What the Research Says:
Research has shown that students who struggle with comprehension are less likely to discover and regulate cognitive strategies through their own experiences with text. Fortunately, it also has demonstrated that, through systematic instruction and careful attention to issues of skill generalization, students can learn and apply a variety of cognitive strategies, for improvements in text comprehension (Okolo, 2013). So with explicit instruction on how to use comprehension strategies when reading, students can improve their reading comprehension. Do You need more Reading Comprehension Information???
