Strategies relate to Reading comprehension:

1. Identify key words and phrases
2. Use picture clues
3. Use title, subtitle and bold words clues
4. Inference strategy
5. Paraphrasing strategy
6. Visual imagery strategy
7. Sequencing
8. Self-questioning strategy
9. Making predictions
10. Comparing and Contrasting
11. Drawing conclusions
12. Identify author’s purpose
13. Distinguishing between fact and opinion
14. Summarizing

Summarizing Strategy—11 minutes

• 3 minutes—After reading a passage or section of the text, students underline or pick 10 words that are “important”.
• 5 minute—Write 10 words on the board.
• 3 minutes—Students write summary statements using the words on the board. Post on the board.

Readers find themes in a book by focusing on:

1. The title
2. Character’s decisions
3. Parts/events that repeat
4. Problems/conflicts
5. Social issues (war, poverty, death, divorce)
6. Setting

Theme—the author’s message—what is the author trying to get me to think about?


VIP—Fiction:

Action—What is the most important thing the character did?
Feeling—What is the most feeling the character had?


VIP—Non-Fiction:

Highlight an important fact or sentence.
Write a few key words.
Use the key words to write a main idea statement.

These strategies are very familiar to me. I use them frequently in guided reading, following Jan Richardson's newest text. These strategies have helped my students think a little deeper about the texts they read, and I can use them even when I have low readers in higher grades. They can still get the strategies with texts that don't overwhelm them. I will also spend more time with the same book so that the vocabulary gets easier for them and they have more time to explore the text and strategies.

These are all great ideas. I love that they can be introduced to the little ones early on by doing it whole group, and then they can practice them independently in the upper grades.

As our ESOL team adopts Jan Richardson's guided reading strategies, I am able to learn and implement a lot of these strategies more consistently. For ELLs, I am working on weaving in SIOP components into the guided reading framework.

I have a variety of graphic organizers that I like to use in my small group sessions. My students always enjoy doing a picture walk before we start a new book and they love to make predictions using the pictures. I found the "summarizing strategy" section helpful because I often struggle with pacing during this portion of the lesson.

I've previously used many of these strategies during guided reading groups. I look forward to trying out the eleven minute summarizing strategy.
