Abstract of
The Comprehension Matrix: A Tool for Designing Comprehension Instruction
Sharon Ruth Gill
Recent reading research has shown teachers how to help students comprehend and has identified strategies that good comprehenders use. At the same time, however, researchers report that few if any of these techniques are used in classrooms. Reading teachers and content area teachers alike need to be able to design lessons that help students comprehend (i.e., learn from) specific texts and need to develop comprehension strategies that readers can use on many different types of texts. The Comprehension Matrix provides teachers with a way of dealing with the overwhelming amount of information available on the teaching of comprehension by helping them organize activities into prereading, during reading, and postreading categories.
