I have the same question as the original person sending this email - I am all 
on board with teaching the comprehension strategies and have read almost all 
the books suggested - but how is the best way to teach good reader strategies 
and skills such as compare, contrast, cause and effect, main idea etc.
Do any of you have a list of what strategies and skills you teach at the same 
time?Someone said they would use the strategies as the overall lesson and the 
skills as a mini-lesson - could you give a more explicit example of this? Do 
you mean that during your shared/read aloud you work on questioning and then do 
a mini-lesson on comparing characters???
I am very lucky where I teach, as long as I teach the state standards I can 
teach what I want when I want so I would like to come up with an outline / 
curriculum calendar for myself that combines strategies and skills somehow. 
I would love to hear how some of you combine these in your classrooms!
