7 Keys to Comprehension
1. Motion picture of the mind: sensory images
– Good readers create a wide range of visual,
auditory, and other sensory images as they
read, and they become emotionally involved
with what they read.
1. Making connections: background knowledge
– Good readers use their relevant prior
knowledge before, during and after reading
to enhance their understanding of what
they’re reading
7 Keys to Comprehension
3. Why, what, where, who and how:
questioning
– Questions indicate engagement
– Questions are fundamental to being a human
being
– Questions are a key ingredient in building
superb readers
7 Keys to Comprehension
4. Weaving sense into words: drawing
inferences
– Inferring involves forming a best guess about
what the ‘evidence’ (words, sentences, and
paragraphs) means; speculating about what’s to
come; and then drawing conclusions about what
was read to deepen the meaning of the literal
words on the page.
By using inference you:
• Elaborate upon what you read
• Draw conclusions
• Make predictions
• Find connecting points
• Ask questions
• Personalize what you read to build a
deeper meaning
7 Keys to Comprehension
5&6. What’s important and why: determining
importance and synthesizing
– An important aspect of comprehension is
being able to distinguish between the
nonessential information and the essential
information.
– Determining importance has to do with
knowing why you’re reading and then making
decisions about which information or ideas
are most critical to understanding the overall
meaning of the piece
7. Cultivating Awareness: Fix-
up strategies
• Go back and reread. Sometimes that is
enough
• Read ahead to clarify meaning
• Identify what it is you don’t understand:
word sentence or concept
• If it is a word, read beyond and use
context clues to help you understand.
• If it is a sentence in a picture book, look
at the pictures.
• If it is a concept, try to
summarize the story up to the
confusing spot. If that doesn’t
clear it up, maybe you need to
build more background
knowledge.
