How to Use Daily Reading Comprehension

Daily Reading Comprehension provides a unique integration of instruction and practice in both comprehension strategies and comprehension skills. Strategies--such as visualizing or asking questions--are general, metacognitive techniques that a reader uses to better understand and engage with the text. Skills--such as finding a main idea or identifying a sequence of events--focus on particular text elements that aid comprehension. See page 6 for a complete list of strategies and skills covered in Daily Reading Comprehension. The first six weeks of Daily Reading Comprehension introduce students to comprehension strategies they will apply throughout the year. Weeks 7?30 focus on specific skill instruction and practice. All 30 weeks follow the same five-day format, making the teaching and learning process simpler. Follow these steps to conduct the weekly lessons and activities:

STEP 1 The weekly teacher page lists the strategy or skills that students will focus on during that week and provides a brief definition of the strategy or the skills. Read the definition(s) aloud to students each day before they complete the activities, or prompt students to define the skills themselves. You may also wish to reproduce the comprehension strategy and skill definitions on page 8 as a poster for your classroom.

STEP 2 The teacher page provides an instructional path for conducting each day's lesson and activities. Use the tips and suggestions in each day's lesson to present the skills and introduce the passage.

STEP 3 Each student page begins with directions for reading the passage. These directions also serve as a way to establish a purpose for reading. Help students see the connection between setting a purpose for reading and improving comprehension.

STEP 4 Because much of reading comprehension stems from a reader's background knowledge about a subject, take a moment to discuss the topic with students before they read a passage. Introduce unfamiliar phrases or concepts, and encourage students to ask questions about the topic.

STEP 5 After students have read a passage, two comprehension activities give students an opportunity to practice the strategies and skills. In weeks 1?6, the first activity is an open-ended writing or partner activity that encourages students to reflect on the reading process, applying the weekly strategy. The second activity provides four multiple-choice items that practice the week's skills in a test-taking format.

In weeks 7?30, students complete the multiple-choice skill activity before practicing the strategy activity. The teacher page for these weeks offers suggestions for teaching the skills and gives tips for reminding students of the strategy(ies). Throughout the week, use the Student Record Sheet on page 9 to track student progress and to note which skills or strategies a student may need additional practice with.
