Comprehension strategies are used to help students read to learn and are used to help students find enjoyment in that reading. Reading comprehension is composed of word recognition, fluency and vocabulary. It is important to understand that reading strategies should be used with conscious effort, are flexible to fit the situation, can be used across different levels and reading materials, can be used in observable ways or sometimes occur in a mental process and they should always lead to
higher-level thinking.
Nine key comprehension strategies:
- Establishing a purpose for reading
- Using prior knowledge
- Asking and answering questions
- Making inferences
- Determining what is important
- Summarizing
- Dealing with graphic information
- Imagining and creating a graphic representations
- Being metacognitive
