Hi Everyone,
I need your help. What activities would you suggest for 1st graders who read
on above grade level but struggle with comprehension?

Next semester, I will be doing a reading enrichment block with students who
are fair to good readers but they need a little extra boost with
comprehension to become much better readers. I will have from 5 - 10 students
per
block - one block each of sixth and seventh grade.
I am thinking
I'm sorry I didn't clearly state the problem . . . the classroom teacher has
the students reading at a lower level. We are just trying to find several ways
to help them improve comprehension.

They are word callers and are not reading on or above grade level if they
can't comprehend! Drop the reading level until they can comprehend.

I've found that magazines like Cricket have both fiction and non-fiction
pieces that work well for my sixth graders.
Storyworks is from Scholastic - lower level (Maybe 5th?) but has lesson plans
online and a lot of teacher support on the web.
From:
Lots of opportunities to turn and talk... Lots of teacher and peer modeling of
the kinds of thinking readers do... Variety of texts so children build schema,
attention to vocabulary development...

Children of all ages love to record themselves and hear their voices. Recently
in my guided reading groups i have been modeling oral reading and pausing to
think aloud the active reading strategies that come to mind; connections,
asking myself questions etc. If you have access to ipods or
I agree with you Jennifer, It's about the strategies that we know,
modeling, gradual release by having kids apply strategies and thinking
through turn and talk and sharing out. It's about the gift of time - this
doesn't happen immediately for every child. Lots of time for children to
gradually
