Package Synopsis
This package focuses on processes and strategies that teachers can use to teach comprehension skills in viewing, listening, reading and related domains. The information is informed by current evidence and personal experience as to what works and what does not. There are many related theoretical documents, resources that are located on the accompanying thumb drive.
Central to the package is a character called Comp Monitor who is a puppet that provides the motivational hook for children to engage in tasks and activities. He is a tool as opposed to a toy and should be used as a scaffold or support for students as they engage in learning strategies to enhance their comprehension.
The package includes visual icons that relate to the underpinning cognitive processes associated with the critical comprehension strategies. These strategies should not be viewed as a ‘grab bag’ of ideas. Strategies only produce powerful outcomes when they are carefully selected and implemented based on the identified needs of children and in the context of carefully sequenced teaching processes. The package details concrete lessons that introduce skills and additional literacy based lessons.
The resources on the thumb drive include copyright free graphics, lessons ideas and posters.
