April 24, 2006 PaTTAN Consultants
Agenda
� Research � Assessment � Progress Monitoring � Text Structure
� Narrative � Expository
� Instructional Strategies � Prereading � During Reading � Postreading
1
Session Objectives
Participants will � Be able to understand the research related to
reading comprehension � Be able to implement appropriate assessment
techniques to inform instruction. � Be able to determine when to apply narrative and
expository text frames to reading material used for instruction.
� Be able to identify and use appropriate instructional strategies based on student needs.
What Is Reading Comprehension?
� Process of constructing meaning from written texts, based on a complex coordination of a number of interrelated sources of information
2
In mechanistic studies, this form of equation appears whenever the rate-controlling step of a reaction is viewed to involve the association of reactant with some quantity that is present in limited but fixed amounts; for example, the association of reactant with enzyme to form a complex, or the association of gaseous reactant with an active site on the catalyst surface.
Snowballing Consequences of Early Reading Failure
Comprehension
Vocabulary
Motivation to Read
Letter-Sounds
Phonemic Awareness
Exposure to W ords Word Recognition
3
Proficient Comprehension
� 3 primary grade comprehension skills � literal comprehension � sequencing � summarizing
� 3 intermediate comprehension skills � making inferences based on relationships � comprehending sentences with complicated
syntactic structures � critically reading passages
Children Who Comprehend Text
� Monitor their understanding. � Apply strategies to figure out confusing or
conflicting information. � Make intertextual or personal connections.
4
Factors that Influence Comprehension
1. Word Recognition/Reading Fluency � 90 words per minute in grade level text � No more than 1 error every 10 words
2. Vocabulary 3. Failure to Use Text Structure to Facilitate
Comprehension 4. Failure to Monitor Comprehension
� Do I understand what I just read? � Teach “fix up strategies:” reread, read ahead, adjust
pace
Research Evidence
� Instruction of comprehension strategies improves reading comprehension of children with a wide range of abilities
(National Reading Panel, 2000)
� Many children require explicit word recognition instruction integrated with rapid processing of words, spelling skills, and strategies to improve comprehension
(Fletcher & Lyon, 1998)

� Strong Narrative Assessment Procedure (Strong, 1988)
� Woodcock Reading Mastery Test (WRMT-R)
� Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test (SDRT-4)
� Woodcock Diagnostic Reading Battery (WDRB)
� Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) – Retell Fluency
Curriculum-Based Measurement Oral and Written Retells
� Oral retells are appropriate for narrative passages
� Written retells are appropriate for narrative and expository passages
� Oral and written retells are scored subjectively or objectively
7
Oral Retells
� Select a narrative text at the student's approximate instructional reading level
� Select passages of approximately 200-250 words from the beginning of a chapter or where a major change of time or setting has just occurred within a chapter
Administering Oral Retells
1. Give the student the following directions � “I want you to read a story for me. When you
are finished, I will ask you to tell me everything you can remember about the story, so please read it carefully”
2. When the student is finished reading, say: � “Take a moment to think about what you just
read (Pause for 3-5 seconds). Now tell me everything you remember about the story”
8
Administering Oral Retells (cont’d)
3. When the student has indicated that he/she cannot remember anything more about the story, you may give a natural prompt � “Is there anything more you can remember."

Cause Effects
� Pause here and read the passage on Volcanoes in your Activities Packet.
34
Volcanoes When volcanoes erupt they usually cause a great deal of damage to the land around them. Often the damage has a great impact on people, animals, and buildings. The ash from a volcano can suffocate animals and people in moments. When the ash falls on streams it can clog their flow and kill all the fish. The ash also can pile so high and be so heavy that it collapses buildings. However, volcanoes also cause good along with the damage. The volcanic ash enriches the soil and acts as a fertilizer when it is plowed into the earth. Volcanic eruptions help rebuild and replenish the earth that weather and erosion wear away. So in spite of their hazards, volcanoes are beneficial and leave a positive impact on the earth.
(Stephens, 2004)

Asking Questions
� Guidelines for asking questions… � Avoid low level single correct answer questions
� Ask lots of speculative and predictive questions
� Wait 3-5 seconds after asking a question, allowing students to process the question and formulate a response
Conley, 1987
Circle of Questions
� Students read narrative or expository text � Students work in small groups � Teacher identifies topic � Students brainstorm questions about the topic
for three minutes � Teacher draws a circle on chalkboard/chart
paper/transparency and writes the topic in the circle
� Students share their questions and teacher records them on spokes around the circle
Sampson, Sampson, & Linek, 1994
62
Circle of Questions (cont’d)
� Questions are examined by the whole class and placed in categories
� Groups select categories in which to become expert
� Students use the questions that are in their category and use the text to answer them
� Answers are recorded by students � Groups share their answers

Question/Answer/Relationships (QAR)
� Question Answering Strategies: � Right There –answer is in the text; answer is usually
within a single sentence � Think and Search – answer is in the text, but answer
may be found in more than one sentence or paragraph � On My Own – answer is not in the text, and answer is
generated from background knowledge � Writer and Me- answer is not in the text, but reader
requires the information provided in text to answer the question
Raphael, 1984

During and After Reading Strategy
� Consider text organization � Summarize text � Check understanding � Use fix-up strategies
Neufeld, 2005
Post-Reading Strategies
71
Features of Post-Reading Strategies
� Check purpose, goals, and predictions � Return to text selectively � Connect ideas to previous knowledge � Summarize meaning � Extend reading through discussion and
writing
Purpose of Summarization
� To understand the main idea � To understand the supporting details � To condense information for remembering
72
Summarization Strategy
� Delete trivial information � Delete redundant information � Use single category label to replace list of
smaller items/actions � Summarize paragraphs—select topic
sentences or, if there are none, invent them
Stewart & Tei, 1983; Tei & Stewart, 1985
Summarization Strategy
� Read the text material � Create a semantic map � Turn the map into a formal outline � Use the major headings of the outline to
write a summary
Marshall, 1988
73
Summarization Checklist
� Used by students to judge qualities of summaries
� Used by teachers to monitor student progress
3-2-1 Strategy
� Allows students to summarize key ideas in text
� Allows students to provide information on interesting ideas in text
� Allows students to ask question that they have about the text
74
3-2-1 Strategy
3 things you learned
2 interesting things you discovered
1 question that you still have
Paraphrasing Strategy: RAP
� Read a paragraph � Ask yourself, “What were the main ideas
and details of this paragraph?” � Put the main idea and details in your ow
words.
Schumaker, Denton, and Deshler, 1984
75
Paraphrasing Strategy: RAP
� Rules for finding main idea � Look for it in the first sentence of the paragraph � Look for repetitions of the same word or words
in the whole paragraph
Paraphrasing Strategy: RAP
� Criteria for generating paraphrase � Must contain a complete thought and have a
subject and verb � Must be accurate � Must make sense � Must contain useful information � Must be in your own words � Only one general statement per paragraph is
allowed
76
Conclusions
� Well presented physical text facilitatesreading comprehension
� Text structure and student awareness of text structure are highly related to readingcomprehension
� Explicit instruction in the physical presentation of text facilitates readingcomprehension
� Explicit instruction of text structure facilitates reading comprehension
