 Today, I'm going to be teaching my students a comprehension reading strategy. I'm going to use any book that I have in my classroom, and I'm going to start reading the book. While I'm reading the book, I'm going to stop at various places, and I'm going to ask the children questions like, who's in this story? What's happening in this story? Where is it taking place? This comprehension strategy helps the students stop while they're reading and ask themselves some questions to make sure they're understanding what they're reading. Something else that you can do when teaching check for understanding is use a check mark and gesture. The kids really like that, and it helps them remember to ask themselves questions about what they're reading when they're reading. Try this today in your classroom.
