Bring your teaching to life, and increase student learning and on-task behavior! This powerpoint provides instruction into reading comprehension strategies. It is known that good readers constantly check their understanding as they are reading and ask themselves questions. In addition, skilled readers recognize when they are having problems and stop to use their reading strategies to help them understand what they are reading. Through the reading of "Through Grandpa's Eyes," students will have the opportunity to observe, and make use of their reading strategies of Predicting, Clarifying, Making Connections, Summarizing, and Monitoring Comprehension. This lesson is paginated to the Open Court Reading, although page numbers can be easily adjusted to fit your needs.
