Monitoring Comprehension

Use this collection of resources when teaching students how to monitor their comprehension when reading a piece of text. Teaching children to monitor their comprehension means teaching them to notice the thinking they do as they read.  This can be the most difficult reading strategy to teach a child. Let us help! Use the Reading Comprehension Strategy PowerPoint – Monitoring Comprehension to introduce your students to the concept and then work through the examples and the guided, whole-class activity to solidify the concept. Also provided are some posters to display in your elementary classroom, worksheets, bookmarks, and flashcards.
