    Extractions: The LSAT is a very sophisticated test. The Ivy League law schools need to make differentiations among applicants in the 99% range. Therefore the answers to very difficult questions must rely on some meaningful distinctions grounded in the applicant's knowledge, in logic, or the applicant's ability to draw inferences. The answers to the questions in the LSAT Reading Comprehension passages are found not in what the passage STATES, but in what is IMPLIED. This differentiates them from passages on other tests, such as the SAT, ACT, etc. The consequences are that some of the techniques useful on other tests may be less so on the LSAT:

88. Strategic Processing Of Text: Improving Reading Comprehension For Students With
    While 20 years ago research on the reading comprehension problems of students with MULTIPASS A learning strategy for improving reading comprehension.  
    http://ericec.org/digests/e599.html
    
    Extractions: November 2000 While 20 years ago research on the reading comprehension problems of students with learning disabilities focused on difficulties with decoding text, researchers today view such problems as arising from difficulties across a wide range of language and thinking activities (Swanson and Hoskyn, 1998). They recognize that some students have mastered the mechanics of reading but still have comprehension problems. This type of problem may not be evident until the higher grades when comprehension challenges increase. Although students with learning disabilities may have the ability to process information, they do so with great inefficiency. It is not atypical for students with learning disabilities to be unaware of basic strategies that good readers use as a matter of course, such as re-reading passages they don't understand. These are difficulties of strategic processing and metacognition (Gersten, Williams, Fuchs and Baker, 1998). Strategic processing is the ability to control and manage one's own cognitive activities in a reflective, purposeful fashion, and involves metacognition, the ability to evaluate whether one is performing successfully. Research shows that instruction can improve students' strategic processing of text. This digest summarizes relevant research and promising practices in the strategic processing of text, focusing first on the strategic processing of narrative and then expository text.

    Extractions: Reading Workshop Reading is a Strategic Thinking Process Reading Comprehension We all know that the goal of reading is to comprehend/understand the text. In the past, educators believed that if children were taught to decode, understanding the text would flow naturally. If only it were that easy! Proficient readers are strategic thinkers. They use what they already know and what the text says to construct meaning. Isabel Beck defines constructing meaning as "being able to explain information, connect it to previous knowledge, and use that information." Comprehension involves decoding, but it's much more!

    An online web article published as part of The Internet TESL Journal.  
    http://iteslj.org/Lessons/Akgun-ReadingComp.html
    
    Extractions: makgun [at] indiana.edu Many EFL teachers are familiar with the type of reading comprehension exercise in which students are required to read the passage and then answer a set of multiple-choice questions. No matter how hard you may try to make this type of reading fun and comprehensible to the learners by brainstorming activities or drawing flowers on the board, you know that, after a while, you may end up with a boring reading class in which your students are not 'reading for comprehension', not 'enjoying themselves', not 'learning new words in context', not 'practicing their grammar', and not 'involved in a communicative and interactive learning activity'. Does all of this sound familiar. If so, you can achieve all of the above and maybe more with this very simple, easy-to-prepare activity. Find an interesting text, which you think may appeal to most of your students such as a joke from a magazine, a brochure about Disneyland, or anything that is colorful and fun. Then, type that passage on a page using large margins so that the text itself is not spread from one end to the other but rather it is squeezed up into a thin column. Make enough copies to go around and then grab a pair of scissors as you go to class.

    Help your child retain what he reads – a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to glean important information from textbooks.

    Extractions: Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren't too hard. She should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help. Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for her to focus on the overall meaning of the story.

    Extractions: READING COMPREHENSION To improve your reading comprehension, use the following 3-step process: I. PREVIEW Preview the textbook by looking through the table of contents to see how the concepts are organized. Also, look for any study aids, such as a glossary, answer key, questions at the end of the chapters, etc. Preview the chapter by spending 5-10 minutes scanning the following: headings, diagrams, charts, terms in bold, questions at the end, summary, etc. Think about what you already know concerning the topics in the chapter. A preview can help build your interest and focus in the text, much as a movie preview builds interest in a movie. II. ACTIVE READING HOW TO READ: Think of the paragraph or the section (3 or 4 paragraphs under a heading) as your unit of meaning . Do not reread when you are confused about a word or sentence; read on. The next sentence will often clarify the meaning. If you are still confused at the end of a section or paragraph, stop at that point to reread or to look up important, unfamiliar words. For a science or technical book, think of the charts and diagrams as the heart of the text

    http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/teaching_techniques/ellis_readingcomp.html
    
    Extractions: Second Edition T STAGE 1: PRETEST To pretest the student, teachers collect two types of information in the form of permanent products: product measures and process measures. Product measures concern the actual level of the student's comprehension of specific reading passages. Thus, product measures are attained by evaluating the student's comprehension of main ideas and details presented in the previously read passage. A rough estimate of comprehension can be attained by having students respond to a set of written comprehension questions that address the content read by the student. Process measures concern how well students are able to follow the strategic process to be taught. Process measures of paraphrasing ability are determined in part by evaluating students' verbalizations about each paragraph in relation to performance criteria. The performance criteria for evaluating students' paraphrases developed by Schumaker, Deshler, and Denton (1984) are: Must be in the student's own words Must contain only one main idea per paragraph Must contain two details Information in paraphrase is meaningful Complete sentence Information is new

If you do not already have a forum account please request one here Download these principles in Adobe Acrobat format by clicking here . (HTML version below) The purpose of reading is comprehension. How do we teach children to comprehend more difficult and varied texts? Until recently, we had few answers. But research from recent decades has provided a general outline of how to effectively teach reading comprehension. 1. Effective comprehension instruction requires purposeful and explicit teaching. Effective teachers of reading are clear about their purposes. They know what they are trying to help a child achieve and how to accomplish their goal. They provide scaffolded instruction in research-tested strategies (predicting, thinking aloud, attending to text structure, constructing visual representations, generating questions and summarizing). Scaffolded instruction includes explicit explanation and modeling of a strategy, discussion of why and when it is useful, and coaching in how to apply it to novel texts. 2. Effective reading instruction requires classroom interactions that support the understanding of specific texts.
