I'm curious about the context of the above notes taken from the speaker at the reading conference in Michigan. The speaker I was quoting was Sharon Taberski and the context was comprehension. To put it in context, here is the description of her session. "Very often comprehension instruction is synonymous with strategy instruction. Thus much of our instruction time is directed toward teaching children to use the five or six cognitive strategies deemed most important. While strategy instruction most definitely has its place, it's likely to be less important than we're led to believe. In order to better comprehend text, children also need opportunities to engage in real reading, writing and talking experiences and within that context, expand their vocabulary, develop fluency, aquire background knowledge and write texts for others to understand. This workshop will demonstrate ways to do just that." Nancy **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
