Comprehension

Reading comprehension is the ability to process text, understand its meaning, and to integrate it with what the reader already knows. Proficient readers continually monitor their thoughts and in reading intervention students learn the metacognitive strategies needed to become strategic thinkers. Questioning, visualizing, making connections, predicting, clarifying, and summarizing are strategies that help readers examine their thinking process and help increase comprehension of the books they are reading.
