Question #5: How do I make a difficult textbook more readable?


Key ideas from the chapter:

  • Teach a variety of reading comprehension strategies
  • Use text tours, graphic organizers, and main idea signposts
  • Do think-out-loud modeling - Literally speak your thoughts out loud so students learn new problem-solving strategies.
  • Offer multiple paths into the text
  • Make text meaningful with personal stories - Share stories so students can connect and remember information.
