The Reading Comprehension Inservices focus on instructional strategies that guide students to understand, analyze, and evaluate narrative and expository text in social studies, sciences, and language arts. Learn the 5-7 day standards-based reading lesson plan that dove-tails with and enhances any curriculum. My lesson plan includes three easy-to-use components: Before reading the text or pre-reading techniques, during reading comprehension strategies, followed by after reading high-level thinking activities.
The before reading or pre-reading activities in the lesson plan include Word Masters to Story Blasters and Lecture Notes. Word Masters is a fast-paced activity that introduces robust vocabulary, while Story Blasters bridges the vocabulary words to academic oral language and narrative writing. Another pre-reading activity is Lecture Notes. Unique interactive Lecture notes utilize narrative and expository text structure
elements and sophisticated oral language practice to frontload students with background knowledge to access the language arts, science or social studies core curriculum.
In the during reading part of the lesson plan is my List and Draw, Question, then React process that guides students to comprehend the story or information. During this process, students learn monitoring and clarifying, predicting and inferring, questioning as well as sequencing or identifying the most important details.
In the after reading part of the lesson plan includes systematic and explicit instruction for teachers to guide their students to summarize the text, followed by a deep analysis and evaluation of the material. Most of these activities include graphic organizers and student engagement techniques for higher-level thinking that result in
academic language development and writing across the curriculum.
