The Comprehension Matrix

     As I said last week, reading comprehension is extremely important for children to learn while they are in school.  The comprehension matrix is a great tool to use to aid students in their comprehension while they are reading, and it can help to teach them good reading strategies that they can use in the future when they read. I think that the matrix is a great tool for teachers to use, because it gives examples of different activities that the students can do at the different parts of reading. Here is a picture of the matrix from the reading that we had this week...

  

     Would you use this matrix in your classroom?

    Do you think that having students do activities before reading, during reading, and after reading is a good way to increase comprehension?
