Reading Aloud Plus: Using Strategies to Support Comprehension

Reading is one of the cognitive skills


Comprehension – is a cognitive process that allows us to understand something
Reading is simply translating text into sounds or spoken words and on the other hand
comprehension is deriving the meaning of those words. However, reading comes first and
reading comprehension must be developed afterwards.
In Elementary, reading is taught while comprehension as well is being developed at the same
time.
How do teachers develop comprehension?

 Developing comprehension strategies through reading aloud requires planning and


setting up an environment of thinking, listening, and discussion.
For those learners who have just to start their journey in mastery of reading this strategy has
significance for them….
 Through reading aloud, this will provide them to have a model of confident and expert
reading and that person will be the teacher.
Pronunciation
Intonation
Attention to punctuations
And all that can be learned by the learners as they listen to the teacher.

In helping the learners understand what they read there are strategies that must be used:
 Connecting story to children's own life experience (compelling)
 Connecting the story that children are reading to other literature they have read (making a
connection to the previous story that they had read)
 Connecting what children are reading to universal concepts (everyone can relate to like
friendship, love of family and all sort of things)
Things to be Done Reading Aloud

Introduce preliminary vocabulary. Examine the vocabulary in the text. Are there words that
students must know in order to arrive at understandings around the “big idea”? Develop a plan
for introducing words quickly before or during reading.

Read the text aloud fluently, stopping to ask the questions you wrote during planning.
Allow learners think by asking open ended questions, for you to know if they are listening
and if they understand. Continue this process until you reach the end of the story.
Develop questions that will support learner discussion and depth of thought as they move in
the direction of this big idea.
This isn’t a search for “right answers,
Practice reading the text aloud.

 Learners can relate story to their experiences and this will enable their mind in making
connections. There mind will not be dormant

Reading aloud to children gives them the opportunity to try on the language and experience of
others. It helps them make connections with their lives, and informs their view of themselves and
others. Thinking aloud helps children learn how to use comprehension strategies that are
important when reading independently.
