Reading comprehension strategies

We have been talking about strategies that good readers use all year.  Some of these strategies include activating prior knowledge, making connections (text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to world), asking questions, synthesizing information from various sources, inferring, and creating mental images.  Yesterday we went to the computer lab so that students could try out a reading comprehension strategies activity from this website.  Please talk with your child about what they learned from the activity, and how they use these strategies whenever they read.  There are many activities on the website, and we only got to a few, so I would also encourage students to continue to explore the other strategies.
