Are your students struggling to read and comprehend subject
specific reading material? Start here:
"The reader is a problem solver, solving new words and navigating literary elements in fiction and text structures in informational text, while constantly monitoring his hold on meaning. The moment meaning slips away, a red flag should go up, and the reader should stop and rethink until he's reassured he's back on track, using the text as his comprehension anchor. If his dip back into the text doesn't yield meaningful language and understandings, he needs to revisit again and again until it does (The Joy and Power of Reading p. 119 )."

A quick note on comprehension:
"We bring knowledge to the comprehension process, and that knowledge shapes our comprehension. When we comprehend, we gain new information that changes our knowledge, which is then available for later comprehension. So, in that positive, virtuous cycle, knowledge begets comprehension which begets knowledge, and so on. In a very real sense, we literally read and learn our way into greater knowledge about the world and greater comprehension capacity"
