Conderman, G., and Hedin, L.R. (2010). Teaching Students to Comprehend Informational Text Through Rereading. Reading Teacher, 63(7), 556-565.
In this article, Conderman and Hedin explained that some students, especially struggling readers, fail to reread informational text and use fix-up strategies in order to build knowledge (2010). Furthermore, struggling readers may become discouraged when reading text that is too lengthy and difficult and also decreases the effectiveness of using strategies like rereading. For this reason, the authors of this article encouraged educators to use text that is relatively easy so students can focus on understanding the meaning of the words rather than how to pronounce the words. Therefore, the purpose of Conderman and Hedin’s article was to describe a few specific areas of informational text that …show more content…

Once Conderman and Hedin had found the text they were going to use, they started implementing various rereading strategies. When they presented the reading material to their students, they reminded them to read for understanding. Additionally, Conderman and Hedin set a specific purpose for reading and also provided a preview, or introduction, of the material. They further explained there are numerous ways to introduce a lesson. A few ways they mentioned were section headings, pictures and videos to capture the reader’s attention, comprehension questions, charts and diagrams, enhanced text. The next step they took in order to enhance their students’ informational text comprehension consisted of chunking the text into sections that were important for developing the concept and had the students stop at certain points while they were reading so they could think out loud. Conderman and Hedin (2014) further explained that chunking not only helped the students build reading endurance, but it also set a purpose of reading for

Adonay has made his best effort to focus at his work in the classroom. His reading has slow progress throughout the year. Although, he reads most-text specific vocabulary, he still needs to decode unfamiliar words using appropriate strategies like blending and segmentation. It is also beneficial to develop his self-correction strategy by attending to meaning while he reads a text. Adonay finds challenging to interpret a text he reads as he struggles to access independently some additional meanings from a text.

The Synopsis that I gathered from Haas and Flowers’ “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” was none the less another interesting read. Experienced readers might come to understand that both reading and writing can be “context-rich, situational, and have constructive acts”. Though a large number of students may find reading and writing more or less to be an exchange of valued or non-valued information. Continuing on, multiple studies that have been conducted have also found that on average 77 percent of experienced readers tend to use content strategies to expand their knowledge of the reading. These strategies usually include vigorous annotations of the reading/writing that have been shown to improve the readers/writers’ comprehension of the material.

Previously, in Dr. Boyce’s literacy class, we rigorously studied and learned how to apply reading strategies to specific texts. Thus, the text ‘Stupid Lady From Denver’ by Chris Tovani (2004) struck me as especially familiar. Everything that was stated in the article brought back memory after memory of all the various reading strategies we covered last semester. Tovani (2004) states that “Good readers separate themselves from struggling readers when they recognize that they are confused and do something to repair meaning”, which rings especially true to my memory as well (p. 5). She encouraged us to seek out challenging portions of the text that confused us, use our marks to label what was unknown, and then use the strategies such as ReQuest,

We had conversations on what they thought the book was about and what were their predications for what was going to happen in the book. Some of our students wanted to see what happen and was excited about the book before we started to read. Having these conversations and engagement before we read, helps the students to make predictions on what they think will happen. It also helps there thinking time to come up with different prediction for the story. Using the visuals to help the student learn the new vocabulary helped.

The Cold War and the Fall of the Soviet Union Did the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union (USSR) affect US history? I believed that it did and it helped to craft US history. Without the fall of the USSR, the US would not be the superpower that it is today. During the 1940s-1990s, the USA and the USSR fought a war called the Cold War. In this war, the fighting was indirect.

Additionally, multiple students and people alike would rather read a summary of a book than read the whole book. Reading books as a whole is important for brain and language development. Reading a shortcut version of a book will not give the reader valuable information and influential life lessons. Technology can disrupt the mind from the wonders of reading by desensitizing and being found more significant than

The author consistently cites the example of students who have grown up using the internet as an information gathering tool; She talks about how students today must be able to read and write for both the print and digital worlds, and that the “skills of reading and using technology converge as students search for information or answer questions with the Internet” (Schmar-Dobler 81). This convergence of skills is important when considering Schmar-Dobler’s earlier assertion about the nature of literacy itself changing. The author goes on to examine the model for reading comprehension, the proper strategies of which poor readers usually lack the knowledge of, and therefore tend to be thought of as a marker for identifying “strategic readers”. Strategic readers of the Internet, however, must add the skill of “navigating” in order to locate pertinent information and then take meaning from the text (Schmar-Dobler 83). Schmar-Dobler then claims that “To be adept at seeking, evaluating, and using information found on the Internet, readers must navigate through Internet text and apply their knowledge of the reading process” (Schmar-Dobler 83).

Moreover, a common classroom response to text complexity is moving students to an easier text. Also, reading aloud to students helps them understand the material better, although it may not improve their reading skills. He emphasizes that explaining to students what is written in the texts has the same impact as directly reading out the text to them. Shanahan says that the underlying principle has been that reading relatively easy texts is effective toward students’ reading growth. A number of experts have implied that students will not be able to learn if the texts are too difficult.

They also appear to enjoy learning the content due to their involvement. The goal of this activity was to build students reading skills by working them through the subject and allowing them to discuss amongst each other any information that relates to the subject of the reading. It is also intended to help the students think as they read. This helped enable the students understand the subject of the reading, offer their own insight, and identify words more easily.

While reading the article, “What Reading Does for the Mind” by Anne E. Cunningham and Keith Stanovich, I could not decipher some of the complex academic text. At first I did not know how to approach a challenging informational text, but as I was halfway through the academic reading I started to understand a little bit more. Ms. Jones helped my peers and I to break the text paragraph by paragraph in order to read the text with facility and intellectual engagement. As an academic reading, the text was very informative and long. It had complex vocabulary that needed to be searched up.
