By guiding students through the reading process and gradually increasing text complexity, students become more reflective and proficient readers. During this process, students predict and interpret text, draw conclusions, make inferences, recognize an author’s purpose, find organizational patterns, and improve general comprehension and vocabulary skills. Students leave class with improved confidence in their skills and a working repertoire of strategies to employ when confronted with challenging texts across the content areas.
