How Do I Teach Comprehension Strategies?
By clearly modelling the use of the strategies and the thinking required. Sound simple?
Like many simple statements, it's easy to say but takes a bit of practice to do. Teaching comprehension strategies is all about explaining, modelling, and guided practice of the mental talk that good readers use to process text. And as this statement indicates, we practise what we preach ...

Find Out What Teachers are Saying
"I discovered Comprehension Strategy Instruction (CSI ONLiNE) when our primary school had been searching for information on ways to improve our students’ reading comprehension. I found CSI ONLiNE had broken down these comprehension processes into manageable units which were also student-friendly. Although the ‘I think that means . . .’ strategy appears very simplistic at first, it works brilliantly and the kids love it ... I certainly have not found anything nearly as practical and well explained as CSI ONLiNE to help students better comprehend what they are reading."
