To follow up on Lori's reply....Linda Hoyt's resource about nonfiction in the classroom provides specific activities to focus on comprehension. For example... Linda suggests reading a paragraph at a time, covering the paragraph, remember something from the text and then say something/write something. Although I usually use this to make a connection or a visual image it would be just as logical to apply Lori's suggestion and say if this were the answer then what would be the question.... in fact making those connections and visual images first will help kids zone in on a good point to question........
