Teaching Comprehension.....

• Use the question stems at the TRC Level on which your student(s) is reading when writing questions for your guided reading groups.
• Teach the "academic vocabulary" that may be in the question.  For example, teach cause and effect....before giving the student a question like....  What are the three causes of _____________________?  
• Many times the student reads at a higher reading level then the level in which he or she is comprehending accurately.  If this is happening to one of your students, teach comprehension at the child's reading level.  Use the question stems at that reading level in your daily instruction.
