Reading Comprehension

To make meaning of text, readers use a variety of comprehension strategies.  Students’ reading abilities can be greatly improved by teaching these strategies explicitly.  Researchers and educators have organized reading comprehension strategies into distinct categories: making connections, visualizing, making inferences, questioning, synthesizing information and determining importance.

Schoolwide Reading Comprehension sets are based on these categories.  In each set you will find books ideal for teaching and improving reading comprehension.
