Our Goal: Build Real Literacy
The knowledge and skills that allow all children, from all families, to read and write authentic texts for authentic purposes

Comprehension
It’s the one thing we all agree on as the most important goal in reading instruction
So why is it so difficult?

History of the World Chess Championship
![Page 5: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In the mid-1800s there was no official champion. Three players felt they had a legitimate claim to the title, however. One was Paul Morphy, an American. The other two, Howard Staunton and Adolf Anderssen, were Europeans. Morphy challenged each and defeated Anderssen. Unfortunately, Staunton died before a match could be arranged, and Morphy then decided to give up chess forever!
This left the championship in doubt until the emergence of Wilhelm Steinitz, an Austrian master. Because he defeated all serious challengers, Steinitz is considered the first world champion. In 1894, he lost the title to Emanuel Lasker, a German. Lasker held it for 27 years before losing to the great Cuban player, Jose Capablanca, in 1921. Just six years later, Alexander Alexhine, a Russian, defeated him. Alexhine unscrupulously chose only weak opponents, but in 1935 he miscalculated by deciding to play Max Euwe, a young Dutch player. Euwe beat Alexhine but lost a return match two years later. Alexhine hung onto the title until his death in 1946.

In 1946, the World Chess Federation (FIDE) seized the opportunity to regulate title matches. It was decided that every three years the champion would have to play the world’s most deserving challenger, determined by a complex play-off system. To serve the immediate need for a world champion, an invitational tournament was held. Max Euwe, the only former champion still living, played but did not win.
The winner was Mikhail Botvinnik, a Russian. He was the first of a new breed of Soviet champions, given special incentives and training because of the propaganda value of chess. Three years later, Botvinnik had to defend his title against a very strong opponent – from Russia, of course! The title changed hands several times over next few the years, but the champion was always a Russian. Then, in 1972, an American, Bobby Fischer, defeated champion Boris Spassky for the title. Fischer had many complaints about how title matches should be held. When it came time for him to defend his title against challenger Anatoly Karpov in 1975, he refused to play and was stripped of the title.

What is comprehension?
Comprehension is understanding what is heard or read.
Comprehension of any text involves creation of an integrated and coherent representation of the text.
Comprehension may or may not lead to memory for text or text ideas.
![Page 53: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Schema TheoryStart with the learner, who brings prior knowledge,
perhaps in the form of schemata• Schemata are organized, connected to one
another, and grow and change • Schemata are influenced by new learning• Schemata can be wholly restructured • Schemata are both involved in comprehension and
developed as in comprehension

Construction-Integration Theory• Comprehenders process and parse linguistic
information• That parsing activates connections in the
knowledge net• Comprehenders must build inferences between
the language in the text and their knowledge – that leads to creation of a macrostructure for the text
• Successful inferences between text and knowledge build knowledge

Good Assessment Formats
Must extend beyond mere parroting of information
Should assess the extent to which the child has truly processed the content
Should be based on texts of more than a single sentence
Should account for prior knowledge
![Page 63: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
What barriers can you see to implementing these good assessment formats?

Two reasons to assess comprehension
1. To assess overall comprehension ability
2. To assess the comprehension of a specific text.
![Page 65: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Comprehension Assessment Formats
1. Questioning
The teacher asks the child specific questions following reading. Answers are evaluated and quantified.
Advantages• Scoring tends to be straightforward• Questioning mirrors high-stakes testing formats• Questioning may permit modeling by teacher
Drawbacks• Question selection may skew results• Questions may fail to target important points• Reading dependent questions can be hard to write

PlutoThe planet Pluto is currently the furthest of
the nine planets from the sun. It consists of frozen methane and ammonia so that some scientists have described it as a “snowball in space.”
Pluto has a surface temperature of –395ºF. It has no gaseous atmosphere. Pluto is a dark place, so distant that the sun appears to be no more than a bright star.
Like earth, Pluto has one moon (Charon). Pluto is much smaller than earth, however, and has only a tenth of earth’s gravitational pull.

2. RetellingThe teacher asks the child to recall as much as possible about a passage that s/he has just read. The teacher may then prompt missing details through probe questions.
Advantages• May suggest how child has organized content• Does not require extensive questioning
Drawbacks• Ill-structured and hard to quantify• Reticent students may be penalized unfairly• Must be individually administered
![Page 97: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

3. ClozeThe child reads a passage from which some words have been replaced with blanks. The child attempts to use context to infer the missing words.
Advantages• High reliability since there are many items• Does not require writing questions• Can be group administered• Accepted scoring criteria
Drawbacks• Not recommended below grade 4 due to format• Not sensitive to higher-level comprehension
![Page 98: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)

8. Graded SentencesThe child silently reads sentences of increasing complexity, each followed by a question. Scores are used to estimate the child’s instructional and independent reading levels. An adaptive system is used – each item is determined by the child’s performance to that point.
Advantage• Correlates well with longer measures
Drawbacks• Cannot be teacher-constructed• Ability to integrate across sentences not assessed• Not useful for comprehension of a specific text
![Page 108: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Comprehension Assessment Formats
9. Graded PassagesThe child silently reads a series of passages increasing in readability. After each passage the teacher asks several questions or has the child retell. Performance across the passages leads to estimates of the instructional and independent reading levels. This system grounds the informal reading inventory.
Advantage• Estimates are reasonably accurate
Drawbacks• Can be time consuming• Questions included may be poorly framed• Prior knowledge may mask comprehension

Example of a Comprehension Checklist
Before I read, I think about why I am reading. I often ask myself, “Does this sentence make sense?”
I stop after each paragraph and check to see if I understand so far.
When something doesn’t make sense, I read it again or keep reading to see if that helps.
When I finish, I ask myself if I understand well enough.

To what extent would it be useful to foster self
assessment strategies in Reading First classrooms?

Now that we know what comprehension is and how it might be assessed, we turn attention to how it might be developed in your classrooms. We’ll start with some basics, and then move to more specific research-based findings.

Comprehension strategies demand extensive cognitive resources and they don’t work for every reader or for every teacher – look for upcoming research into other methods for improving comprehension, including approaches to questioning and to improving reading engagement.

The State of Comprehension Instruction
Dolores Durkin (1978-1979) observed 4th grade teachers assessing and assigning, but not teaching comprehension– Little evidence since then that anything has
changed, at least not on a large scale

There is much that NRP said we DON’T know about teaching comprehension
What are the best ways of teaching teachers?Does comprehension strategy instruction transfer to
content learning?Which strategies work best at which ages and
abilities?Do effective strategies work with all genres?

But here are the NRP Findings
• Many approaches have some level of research evidence.
• For example, stressing mental images and mnemonics can be effective.
• But seven instructional approaches have a clear scientific basis.

How could reciprocal teaching be integrated
into Reading First classrooms?

Story Maps
Graphic and Semantic Organizers:
![Page 162: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/162.jpg)
A story map (or story grammar) is a method of teaching children about how narratives tend to be structured. It involves a diagram of key events and questions that stem from the diagram.
The logic is that children will better comprehend a story if they know how stories are structured.
![Page 163: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
A story map works best with novice readers. Better readers are able to infer story structure on their own. Research suggests that story maps can be used effectively at least as early as grade 3.

Steps in Using a Story Map
1. Have the students read the story or conduct a read-aloud.
2. List key events under these headings:a. Settingb. Goalc. Plotd. Ending
3. Use these events to ask questions.4. Progress to more speculative questions.

Teaching children to retell
• Start with a story map, appropriate to the grade level– Simple beginning, middle, end map for first
and second grade– More complex map for third and fourth grade
• Model, model, model using the story map to retell stories you are reading aloud or reading in small groups

Teaching Children to Summarize
Hare and Borchardt (1984) developed procedures for direct instruction in summarization.
Before you start to write1. Make sure you understand the text2. Look back and reread to check for understanding3. Reread a paragraph. Ask yourself what the
theme is. Find a topic sentence or write one.
![Page 180: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)
Summarizing, cont.
While you are writing1. Collapse lists2. Use topic sentences3. Get rid of unnecessary details4. Collapse paragraphs
After writingPolish your work. Make sure that your summary
sounds natural.

Direct ExplanationIntroduce the text
Introduce the strategy– Declarative Knowledge: What strategy is to be learned and
used?– Procedural Knowledge: How is that strategy actually employed?– Conditional Knowledge: When and why should that strategy
should be used?
Model the strategy by thinking aloud
Help readers to practice the strategy
Read the text both to understand it and to practice the strategy
Discuss both the text and the strategy

Research on Direct Explanation
Initial training included:• Presentations on DE• Lesson plan design by teachers• Observation and feedback
Effects on students• They developed declarative, procedural, and
conditional knowledge of the strategies• The did not have better standardized
comprehension scores
Duffy et al., 1987
![Page 185: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
More DE
Second study of DE included more intensive professional development
• Presentations on DE• Lesson plan design by teachers• Observation and feedback• One on one coaching• Collaborative discussions• Videotaped model lessons
Effects on students• Students again learned about strategies• Students did use more of the basal skills• Students used and described reasoning during reading• Standardized test scores improved
![Page 186: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)
What were the secrets to success?
• Teacher’s helped students realize they “needed” the strategies
• Teachers helped students apply it immediately• Teachers modeled the cognitive secrets• Teachers helped students apply the strategy
repeatedly• Teachers assessed both understanding of the
strategy and understanding of the text• Teachers maintained focus on the strategy

Transactional Strategies Instruction
Organize community of readers who discuss, interpret, and respond to texts
Before, during, and after reading, provide• Scaffolding • Direct explanation and guided practice of
strategies matched to the text and student interactions
Pressley et al., 1992
![Page 188: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/188.jpg)
Transactional Strategies Instruction
• Teacher and children are active, sharing their thinking, with teachers’ actions guided by children’s reactions, in a collaborative and social setting
• Direct explanation and careful scaffolding of a small set of strategies across the school day and across the elementary years
![Page 189: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/189.jpg)
TRIO
Goal: Teach children how to use at least two comprehension processes to eliminate a misunderstanding
Teach a strategy to the whole class, including modeling and demonstration
Reteach to a small group, using different examplesIndividualize one-on-one, with coachingUse Others (including specialists and specialized
materials) if this does not workBlock, Shallert, Joy & Gain, 2002

To what extent are your reading programs attending to these findings? What specific goals do you have to improve upon the comprehension instruction you are seeing?

Smolkin & Donovan, 2002
“[R]esearch has almost universally supported the idea that reading aloud to children leads to improved reading comprehension.” (p. 144)
![Page 193: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/193.jpg)
These children are ready to acquire comprehension strategies, but they tend not to be proficient decoders.
So, what’s a teacher to do?
![Page 194: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/194.jpg)
The Domino Theory
Teach children to decode first, and put off vocabulary and comprehension
instruction until later.
![Page 195: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/195.jpg)
Smolkin & Donovan, 2002.
“If we want children to reason their ways through texts during a time when they cannot yet read, then the social context for comprehension acquisition must be a read-aloud of text.” (p. 144)
![Page 196: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/196.jpg)
What kind of read-alouds shall we have?
![Page 197: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/197.jpg)
Two Types of Read-Alouds
1. Teacher Directed Planned with carefully placed questions IRE model employed
2. Fully Interactive Model Planned questions may be modified Teacher embeds commentary Flexible scaffolding provided Students collaboratively support one
another
![Page 198: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/198.jpg)
“The Five-to-Seven Shift”
During this age range, children become able to think “multi-dimensionally,” a requirement of comprehension, and to reason with others in group settings.
This argues for fully interactive read-alouds!
![Page 199: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/199.jpg)
Interactive read-alouds tend to work best with information books.

T: “In 1612, French explorers saw some Iroquois people popping corn in clay pots. They would fill the pots with hot sand, throw in some popcorn and stir it with a stick. When the corn popped, it came to the top of the sand and made it easy to get.”
C: Look at the bowl!T: Okay, now it’s hot enough to add a few kernels.C: What’s a kernel?C: Like when you pop.T: It’s a seed.C: What if you, like, would you think … a popcorn seed.

Rules of Thumb
Children benefit from comprehension instruction in which they are active and engaged learners, expected to form an integrated and coherent understanding of the text.
![Page 215: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/215.jpg)
Rules of Thumb
Children benefit from comprehension instruction in which they are explicitly taught how to use different kinds of knowledge: text knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, and world knowledge
![Page 216: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)
Rules of Thumb
Children benefit from comprehension instruction that is organized so that they are explicitly taught a variety of cognitive and metacognitive strategies.
![Page 217: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/217.jpg)
Rules of Thumb
Children benefit from comprehension instruction that is organized so that teachers are continually assessing individual students and using that assessment to plan instruction.
![Page 218: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/218.jpg)
Putting it all together
Before reading:
Teach individual words that will be difficult to decode or to understand
Model a strategy that will be useful in the day’s reading. Give declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge.
![Page 219: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/219.jpg)
During reading:
Interrupt the reading at critical junctures to support strategy use.
Engage children in discussions or written responses.
![Page 220: Comprehension Instruction Sharon Walpole University of Delaware Michael C. McKenna Georgia Southern University.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110103/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd77/html5/thumbnails/220.jpg)
After reading
Engage children in discussion or written responses.
Review and evaluate the text content.
Review and evaluate strategy use.

Supporting Teachers
History
• Individual strategies taught through think aloud approaches
• Use of gradual release of responsibility models (modeling, scaffolded practice, individual application)
• Introduction of multiple strategies approaches

Many Additional Struggles for Teachers
• Differentiate between strategies and skills– A skill is something that we do automatically– A strategy is a set of procedures that we can
employ to solve a problem
• Differentiate between cognitive strategies and instructional strategies– Predicting, accessing prior knowledge, and
generating questions are cognitive strategies– KWL is an instructional strategy
