INTRODUCTIONReading comprehension, a most essentialacademic skill, continues to challenge a wide
number of high school students.
It is a thinking process that requires an active
interaction with the text, by initiating two
independent skills:
language knowledge, and
identification of key elements and the way its
associated together in the text.

DISCUSSION
CSR can be implemented in two phases:teaching the strategies, and
cooperative learning group activityor student
pairing.
8/12/2019 ELT Seminar - FINAL Presentation
12/25
Phase 1. Teaching the
Strategies
Four strategies:
Previewis used before reading the entire text
for the lesson, and wrap upis used after
reading the entire text for the lesson.
The other two strategies, click and clunkand
get the gist, are used multiple times while
reading the text, after each paragraph.

Phase 2. Cooperative Learning Group or
Student PairingOnce students have learned and developed
the four strategies in teacher-led activities,
they are ready to apply CSR in their peer-
ledcooperative learning groups.
Some teachers find it easier to have
students work in pairs and that has also
proven to be a successful practice.

Appendix (text)The Rats and The Elephants
Once upon a time their lived a group of mice under a tree in peace. However, a group of
elephants crossing the jungle unknowingly destroyed the homes of all the rats. Many of
them were even crushed to death.
Then taking of rats decided to approach the elephant's chief and request him to guide his
herd through another route. On hearing the sad story, the elephant's king apologized and
agreed to take another route. And so the lives of the rats were saved.
One day elephant-hunters came to the jungle and trapped a group of
elephants in huge nets. Then the elephant king suddenly remembered
the king of the rats. He summoned one of the elephants of his herd,
which had not been trapped, to go seek help from the king and toldhim about the trapped elephants.
The rat's king immediately took his entire group of rats and they cut
open the nets which had trapped the elephant's herd. The elephant
herd was totally set free. They danced with joy and thank the rats.

conclusion
Collaborative Strategic Reading is anapproach that works well in mixed-ability
classrooms and helps students improve their
reading comprehension.
CSR can be implemented in a subject-area
classroom, such as science or social studies,
to improve student comprehension of
expository text.

conclusion It takes time to teach the CSR strategies,
but students benefit is by developing skills
enabling them to better understand the
material in their reading assignments.
An additional benefit is the development of
skills related to working in groups.
