Comprehension
When your child begins
kindergarten, he/she will learn beginning reading skills, such as alphabet
recognition, rhyming and segmenting sounds in words. The teacher will introduce
reading comprehension strategies at the same time. The teacher will start with
strategies such as looking at the pictures in a book or listening carefully
when she reads aloud. Once your child begins reading, the teacher will
demonstrate other methods for understanding the text. You can use these same
strategies at home to help your child increase his reading
comprehension.
Comprehension Beach Ball
A simple, but highly effective way to engage students in questioning after a shared story.
Questions could be made more challenging for upper grades.
I teach character and setting in kindergarten. I like the idea this anchor chart gives. This idea can be adapted to fit any grade level or any story. Students can then use the strategy they have learned to identify characters and setting during independent reading.
It is always important to teach self-monitoring. Kindergarten students need to be taught strategies for self-monitoring. These anchor charts can be adapted for any grade level.
This chart has many examples of questions that I ask at my guided reading table.
After introducing and reinforcing these questioning strategies, I could create an
anchor chart similar to this one with my students during circle time. It can be
hung in the class for students to refer to during independent reading time.
The following anchor charts may not be used in kindergarten, but I found them to helpful to pass up!
Students especially in TCAP grades, need to know how to read different types of text. These anchor charts are great examples.
