They Read It, But Did They Get It? (Kendra Martin)

Most of us have been reading for all of our remembered life, and reading comprehension comes as naturally as driving a vehicle. Because we do not remember the process of learning it, it is sometimes difficult for us to break the comprehension process down for students. How can we tell that students are actually getting it? This presentation discusses how to present comprehension strategies to young readers, how to teach them to use it, and how to assess whether or not they actually got it.
