Strategies for Reading Comprehension. Strategies for reading comprehension are conscious plans — sets of steps that good readers use to make sense of text.
Explicit instruction in comprehension strategies help students become purposeful, active readers. We love the strategies for reading comprehension that Tanny McGregor and other top authors offer us to help children understand what they read.

A recent National Literacy Trust report found that 17% of children surveyed would be embarrassed if their friends saw them reading.
According to a dictionary, “Embarrassment is an emotional state of intense discomfort with oneself, experienced upon having a socially unacceptable act or condition witnessed by or revealed to others.” Embarrassment is tied to our need for social acceptance. If you have ever chased a naked toddler, you know that children aren’t born with an understanding of socially acceptable behaviors and must learn them from people who understand society’s rules. So, where do children learn that reading is embarrassing? Children receive the message that reading a lot isn’t cool from adults. In modern society, children’s future success depends on their acquisition of literacy skills. I fight this perception that reading is nerdy with my students every year. As adults, those of us who love books and reading often gravitate toward other readers.

During Daily Five, two of our whole class mini-lessons will focus on CAFE strategies. I will also meet with small strategy groups and individual students when I finish meeting with guided reading groups. Our CAFE board shows the four strategies we will focus on- Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary. As we learn skills for each strategy, we will post them below. The most exciting part is that students will have the chance to declare the strategy they are working on. This is our CAFE board.
