by Dan Hammonds This strategy is primarily for middle schoolers who struggle with nonfiction texts. Based on the reading level of the students in question, this strategy should help the students to identify the main ideas of what they are reading.
To implement this strategy, teachers should segment the reading and encourage students to ask questions at various stopping points. This will allow the teacher to check for understanding and also help students to understand patterns that develop while they read. An activity that supports this process is asking students to annotate while they read. Middle schoolers often become overwhelmed with the reading and can’t remember parts of the passage that they have already read. Annotating (which might include writing the questions that arise as students read) will help students engage with the reading and increase their memory and comprehension.
