Setting a Purpose for Reading
• Who had the most challenging time with this activity?
Key Point # 1
Students need to know why they’re reading before they start reading. They need a purpose to guide their reading
Key Point # 2
Different disciplines have different purposes for reading, and therefore require different strategies for comprehension.
6
What comprehension strategies do you use?
• Handout 2a: Biology– Purpose: To gain information about a biological
process
• Handout 2b: Math– Purpose: To gain information about a statistical method
7
What am I doing to comprehend and reach my purpose for
reading?
What comprehension strategies do you use?
• As proficient readers, we (unconsciously) utilize specific reading strategies.
• We need to TEACH these strategies to our students so that they become better and better readers and thinkers in our disciplines.

Teacher names and defines the strategy.
Teacher Responsibility Student responsibility
Gradual Release of Responsibility
Teacher models a strategy with a Think Aloud
Together, teacher and students apply the strategy.
Students practice the strategy during their own reading.
With feedback from teacher, students use the strategy alone or in small groups.
Key Point #3
Effective instruction involves the Gradual Release of Responsibility. This process occurs not only within lessons but over the course of the school year.
Improvements in comprehension require time and patience!

Think Aloud
Think Aloud
The Think Aloud is the moment in any great lesson where the teacher stops, pretends to be a student, and literally verbalizes what s/he is thinking while doing the desired activity.
Think Alouds
Think Alouds
• Think alouds must be:– Purposeful– Planned– In all your lessons
Key Point # 4
Thinking Aloud is the single best way for students to internalize thought processes & learn to apply comprehension strategies.
At pre-determined stopping points, stop reading & share your thoughts.
Record your thoughts in same way your students will record their thoughts.
Afterwards, ask: “What did you notice me doing to understand the book? How did that help me?”
Decide which comprehension
strategy (or strategies) will best help readers
comprehend the text or word problem.
Teach your key points!
