From Pits to Passion Does
implementing transactional strategies instruction improve reading
comprehension and enable a reader to move from an acclimated reader to a
proficient reader? One
of the most challenging areas of reading instruction is the development of
reading comprehension. Some students are able to recognize words accurately
and think of themselves as proficient readers. However, these students are
not able to interact with the text to make appropriate connections to gain
understanding. In
my study, I will focus on the transactional strategies instruction to help
struggling readers become actively engaged in the reading process. Direct
instruction and teacher modeling are the cornerstones of TSI. I will teach my students through direct
instruction and modeling to make
predictions, to ask
questions about the text, to visualize
the story, and to summarize
in a reading journal. I hope to find that by
utilizing the transactional strategies instruction my students will become
more engaged with the text and improve their reading comprehension. |
