Applying Research in Reading Instruction for Adults: First Steps for Teachers
http://www.nifl.gov/publications/pdf/applyingresearch.pdf
The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) has a number of
resources for tutor training. They have 2 minute quality videos on comprehension
related to reading. One shows instruction in a classroom and the other
is demonstrated by a tutor. Each is supported by reading material. For
the two topics there are 4, two minute videos broken into these
sections:
- Introduction
- Modeling
- Guided Practice
- Independent Practice / Discussion
The tutor session is around understanding the types of questions:
Right There
The answer to a “Right There” question is easily found in the story or article. It’s right there!
Think and Search
To answer this kind of question you might have to look in more than one place in the story or article and
put together ideas or information to get the answer.
The Writer and Me
For this kind of question you have to use some of your own knowledge or
experience. Some information is in the story or article and some is “in
your head.”
