Chapter 9-Facilitating Students' Comprehension: Text Factors
We will continue to discuss Comprehension this week. I am so pleased that our text has decided to devote two entire chapters to this topic. As literacy specialist, each year the area that seemed to create the most problems resulting in lower scores was comprehension. Be sure to complete all your readings, quiz, and create your minilesson plan.
Teachers should be aware of the structure of text so that they can help students become
more successful readers and writers. Chapter 9 addresses three types of text: stories,
informational books, and poems. The unique structure of each type of text is discussed. Terms
are defined and classroom examples are given.You will also see several (actually a lot!) of resources that are available for on line at no cost. I have added these to the week's materials so you can save them for later use.
How Effective Teachers Focus on Text Factors
1. Teachers teach students that stories have unique text factors: narrative genres, story elements, and narrative devices.
2. Teachers teach students that informational books have unique text factors: nonfiction genres, expository text structures, and nonfiction features.
3. Teachers teach students that poems have unique text factors: book formats, poetic forms, and poetic devices.
4. Teachers encourage students to apply their knowledge of text factors when they’re reading and writing.
