Tips and Techniques to Improve Student Learning
Students Monitoring their Own Comprehension - Linda Wilson, Truman High School
In the Truman classes for Strategic Learning, students are currently using learning strategies to improve their ability to monitor their own comprehension. Students predict, then confirm or revise their predictions about what they are reading. This strategy creates an ongoing integration between the reader and the text. The strategy illuminates incorrect past knowledge held by the student and replaces it with correct information.
Students are also using strategies to increase word attack skills and reading fluency rates.
This idea was submitted by Linda Wilson, Special Education teacher at Truman High School. For more information, call Linda at (253)954-5819.
If you have a tip or technique that you would like to share with other teachers related to successful literacy instruction in the classroom, simply write out your idea and send it to Mark Jewell at ESC, or e-mail Mark-Jewell@fwsd.wednet.edu.
The ideas will become part of Federal Way Public School's web-based instructional resources and may be featured in district press releases that illustrate Federal Way staff's application of the literacy training. Full credit will be given in each publication.
