My students too!!!

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A4: love the ?! You could have student use a small recommendation bookmark after enjoying the text to give to a friend in the class. The students are always happy to share w/ friends and the friend will be motivated to read and return the favor #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A3: it can help you hone in on texts that can the student can read solo and understand but it can pigeon hole them by limiting their exposures more complex text which they need to grow #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A2: they need guidelines but freedom to explore and find reading that not only fit them on a reading level but is intriguingly them otherwise they may not read at all #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A1: I have seen it where there is a leveled section & content sections; sports, animals, fiction, nonfiction and so on. The students are able to grab some leveled text and other book of interest. This is nice bc if the kids are motivated they can read highertexts #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

Students have to remember what they read to understandwhat they are reading or to gain a deeper understanding of the text #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A3: teaching different strategies such as visualization strategies #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A2: they have to remembertheir reading strategies especially at the younger ages #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A1: memory that is dealing with the now #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A5: socio-economic factors can affect students by not being as exposed to a variety experiences and thus limiting background knowledge #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A4: a class I’m with has a morning share with everyonegetting a chance if they want to share. Many students share things that are important to them. Another place is in their writing journal with author shares #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

We can include texts that highlight students cultures or have relatable characters that the students can connect to#ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

I do believe it can affect student’s comprehension based off experience background knowledge either for the better or for the worse #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A1: the culture you were taught and raised with in your family and community. #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A5: I think that comparative thinking strategies are stressed in many CCSS because it is a crucial skill that require higher order thinking which helps students maximize their learning. #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

Giving the students a focus for that session can really guide them in the right direction and help them from being overwhelmed.

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A4. Teachers should advise the students what would be their primary focus. For example if they need to focus on characters in the story, scenes, chapters, etc. #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A4:reminding students to focus on keys components of a text while also reminding them how key details support the main topic of a text. What is important for that text and then compare those aspects #ComprehendThis

[NPotthoff @potthoff_n]

A3: I do thin that the Venn diagram can be a great tool for C&C. It is simple and allows students to organize their ideas in a minimal way. I think it can be great for visual learners but by no means is it the only tool for C&C. #ComprehendThis
