How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I have also struggled with reading comprehension. Although it takes patience, it's important to remember that reading is hard work for some. We have to really focus and engage with the reading. This usually means moving very slowly and stopping often to discuss, ask questions, and check for comprehension. I also believe that reading comprehension increases dramatically when the reader enjoys and is interested in the material.
