-
Types of Strategies:
- Before Reading: activating prior knowledge, previewing text, setting purposes

- After Reading: summarizing, visualizing, making inferences
-
Instructional Strategies:
- Modeling think-alouds to demonstrate comprehension strategies
- Providing opportunities for student discussion and reflection
- Teaching explicit comprehension skills, such as identifying main ideas and supporting details
Differentiated Reading Instruction
- Definition: Differentiated reading instruction is an approach that recognizes and responds to the diverse learning needs of students.
-
Key Principles:
- Universal Design for Learning (UDL): providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement
- Tiered Assignments: offering varying levels of complexity and challenge
