Teaching QAR is probably the best way to do this. At
a workshop for our state test, the trainer said that
if one taught QAR, the students would likely do well
on the comprehension portion. Scholastic has a decent
book on QAR. I always (naturally) tie it into my
questioning and inferring units.
In the school that I am working in I have watched a fifth grade class do book
clubs. The children are in groups and they pick a certain book as a group.
Each group in the class is reading a different book. Everyday they pick a
reading skill to work on the next time they meet. For example, one gr
This isn't a correlation chart, but Linda Dorn's book, Teaching for Deep
Comprehension, gives very explicit information on linking the teaching of
comprehension skills with teaching writing.

I guess I don't see the skills but the strategies as being paramount. Maybe
what would be more helpful is to link the various skills that are often
associated with reading with the corresponding strategy. Would that help?

Hi all,
I am looking for short text to use to practice compare/contrast with my
students. They are sixth graders reading independently at a fourth and
fifth grade level. Any suggestions? I am using reading a-z which has
lots, but I need short examples to use for modeling and practice.
Thanks!

Maybe skills vs. strategies was the wrong title. I am trying to teach some
nonteachers about the different "skills" we teach in the various components
of balanced literacy. Maybe that would have been a better questions, what
are the skills we need to teach kids to become strong readers? Is tha
