SCR Research Base
Researched Strategies– Think Aloud
– Inductive Thinking
– Graphic Organizers
– Questioning Strategies
SCR
Researched strategies cont.
Cooperative Learning (primarily pairs) Vocabulary (mixture of definitional and
contextual, mnemonic, practice methods) Fluency (specific, targeted strategies have
positive effects; “Round Robin” has negative effects)
SCR
Advocated by Reading Experts
Extensive Independent Reading (IRA, NAEP, Reading Next)
Self-selection, variety of high interest reading materials (Moore, Balfanz, Allen, Codding)
Mini-lessons on skills (Codding, Pressley, Sinatra)

SCR
Read/Think Aloud for…
Modeling of comprehension strategies, especially engaging with author to determine meaning
Modeling the use of prior knowledge and making connections
Modeling fluency
Increasing student engagement with comprehension tasks
SCRRead/Think AloudProcess Overview
1. Select a reading selection that is interesting, complex and difficult for students.
2. Organize students into pairs.
3. Read the selection, stopping at critical points to model comprehension strategies.
4. Pose questions about selection to pairs to provide immediate practice in using modeled comprehension strategies.
SCRThink Aloud: Examples of Modeling
Making connections to prior knowledge Inferring Predicting Summarizing Clarifying word meanings
SCR
Numbered Heads Together for…
Vocabulary Meaning
Checking for Understanding
On-task Behavior, Individual Accountability
SCRNumbered Heads Together Process Overview
1. Pronounce and define words for entire class.
2. Organize students for peer tutoring (pairs), first modeling the strategies you want them to use as they teach each other.
3. Test mastery of the material learned using the “Numbered Heads Drill”
SCR
Cooperative Comprehension for…
Reading Comprehension: Lower Order and Higher Order
Increased student engagement with task
SCRCooperative ComprehensionProcess Overview
1. Choose reading selection. Design three to five comprehension questions, ranging from easy to difficult. The last question should measure your higher-order comprehension objective.
2. Organize students into pairs. The teacher reads the selection or students read it silently.
3. Debrief team answers with the entire class using the “Numbered Heads” drill.
SCRDictated WritingProcess Overview
1. After the Read/Think Aloud of the selection, elicit from students what they remember about critical categories. Record their comments for all to use.
2. Present the prompt for the first paragraph to pairs. All pairs construct one sentence they want to include in the first paragraph and record it on a sentence strip.*
3. As all students display their first sentence, the teacher assists the class in constructing the first paragraph and determining if it needs a summary sentence.
SCRDictated WritingProcess Overview
4. Proceed with the second and third paragraph starters in the same manner.
5. Read through the finished product together, editing for meaning.
6. Students copy the finished product or one student may enter it on a word processor so all students have copies for their folders.
*Paragraphs composed of sentences on sentence strips can be posted on the wall or board with tape or displayed in a pocket chart.
SCRRound Table for…
Comprehension: Recall of Factual Information
Practice of skills
Student engagement with non-fiction text
SCRRound TableProcess Overview
Organize students into pairs; provide one piece of paper for each pair.
Read article or story to students. Recall task is timed. When reading is paused,
students pass paper back and forth, alternating the writing of one fact they remember from the reading.
When time is called after the final note taking, teams count the number of items they remembered.
While teacher records, teams share one item at a time until all items are reported.
SCR
Inductive Thinking for…
Identifying main ideas or central themes
Concept Learning
Development of critical thinking skills
Increased student engagement with task
SCRInductive ThinkingProcess Overview
Identify concepts (categories or main ideas) in subject matter.
Create a data set that includes five to seven examples of each concept or category to be taught. There are usually two to four categories in a data set.
Students work with partners to categorize the data set by forming groups with items sharing common attributes. Students then summarize or name their categories.
SCRInductive ThinkingProcess Overview (continued)
Students report their categories (and their identifying attributes) to the entire class.
Students apply the categories they have formed in new tasks. For our uses of Inductive Thinking, that usually means summarizing the author’s message or interpreting a reading selection.
