Comprehension! What Is It and Why Is It So Important? EP 27

from Reading to Succeed with Elizabeth Morphis · host Elizabeth Morphis

The conversation about reading at the moment is mainly focused on decoding - or sounding out the words - to do the actual reading of a text. Decoding is essential and important. But, comprehension or understanding what you are reading is also important. In this episode, Elizabeth discusses the importance of teaching kids to understand or make meaning of the texts that they are reading. She models a Think Aloud strategy that she used with her daughter to teach character traits. Some ideas for the classroom and at home are presented as well. Learn more about your ad choices.
