I have discovered the importance of using a wide variety of strategies in the classroom. The benefits of providing multiple strategies in different ways enables the teacher to plan instruction based upon the knowledge that the children have gained. If we implement the same worksheets on a daily basis are we actually able to assess our students? The website below is an article from Reading Rockets that has a list of many comprehension strategies that can be implemented in the classroom. In addition, it categorizes the activity according to when it should be presented...before reading, during reading, and after reading as well as if the strategy builds vocabulary, writing skills, comprehension etc... This resource also has each strategy linked with an explanation as well as downloads that can be implemented in the classroom. Enjoy!
