[MOSAIC] When do comprehension strategies become the reason forreading?

[Laura Klug]

If you keep in  mind what adult independent readers look like , I think
it is easier to see how we can support children in getting there. The
strategies are a way to help children get to the point where they can
self-select based on interest and need, where they know when their
comprehension breaks down ( as it does for all of us at times )  and
what to do about that and when they automatically make connections and
read beyond the text to take the meaning that they need and want from
what they are reading. All of the strategies are aids along the way to
help them construct meaning. Gradually, those supports become more
integrated into their thinking.

I think the strategies are meant as a way to scaffold the discussion,
not the reason for the discussion.

  How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and
content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
