Answer:
General instructional activities
To correspond with a typical reading lesson, comprehension strategy instruction can be organized into a three-part framework, with specific activities used before, during, and after reading.
Providing instruction such as the following example allows students to see, learn, and use a variety of comprehension strategies as they read. Note, however, that the framework is a general one and represents an array of strategies. All of the strategies in this framework do not have to be used with every text or in every reading situation.
Before Reading
Before reading, the teacher may:
Motivate students through activities that may increase their interest (book talks, dramatic readings, or displays of art related to the text), making the text relevant to students in some way.
Activate students' background knowledge important to the content of the text by discussing what students will read and what they already know about its topic and about the text organization.
Students, with some help from the teacher, may:
Establish a purpose for reading.
Identify and discuss difficult words, phrases, and concepts in the text.
Preview the text (by surveying the title, illustrations, and unusual text structures) to make predictions about its content.
Think, talk, and write about the topic of the text.
