INTRODUCTIONReading comprehension, a most essentialacademic skill, continues to challenge a wide

number of high school students.

It is a thinking process that requires an active

interaction with the text, by initiating two

independent skills:

language knowledge, and

identification of key elements and the way its

associated together in the text.

INTRODUCTIONReading comprehension is a critical skill forhigh students with disabilities.

Many high school educators are not

adequately equipped to provide readinginstruction.

This brief introduces Collaborative Strategic

Reading (CSR) strategy, developed by

Janette K. Klingner and Sharon Vaughn in

1999.

What is reading

comprehension?Reading comprehension is the act of

understanding what you are reading.

It is an intentional, active, interactive

Teaching Reading

ComprehensionTeaching reading comprehension was

viewed as a mastery of concept of reading,

such as:

identifying words,

finding main ideas,

comparing and contrasting, and

sequencing.

Its major goal is to help students become

competentand enthusiasticreader.

DISCUSSION

CSR can be implemented in two phases:teaching the strategies, and

cooperative learning group activityor student

pairing.


12/25

Phase 1. Teaching the

Strategies

Four strategies:

Previewis used before reading the entire text

for the lesson, and wrap upis used after

reading the entire text for the lesson.

The other two strategies, click and clunkand

get the gist, are used multiple times while

reading the text, after each paragraph.


13/25

Phase 2. Cooperative Learning Group or

Student PairingOnce students have learned and developed

the four strategies in teacher-led activities,

they are ready to apply CSR in their peer-

ledcooperative learning groups.

Some teachers find it easier to have

students work in pairs and that has also

proven to be a successful practice.


14/25

Procedure outline:Set the stage

Assign students into group of 4-5

Assign role: leader, clunk expert, gist expert, announcer

Materials

Reading material (at students level)

Clunk cards (contain fix-up strategy)

Cue cards (outline procedure)

Learning log (documenter & guider)

Timer (optional)

Score card (optional)

ProcessWhole class instruction

Cooperative group activity

Whole class wrap up strategy


15/25

Teachers roleDuring the cooperative group activity, the

teachers role is to:

circulate among the groups,

clarifying clunks,

modeling strategy usage,

modeling cooperative learning techniques,

redirecting students to remain on-task, and

providing assistance.

Appendix (text)The Rats and The Elephants

Once upon a time their lived a group of mice under a tree in peace. However, a group of

elephants crossing the jungle unknowingly destroyed the homes of all the rats. Many of

them were even crushed to death.

Then taking of rats decided to approach the elephant's chief and request him to guide his

herd through another route. On hearing the sad story, the elephant's king apologized and

agreed to take another route. And so the lives of the rats were saved.

One day elephant-hunters came to the jungle and trapped a group of

elephants in huge nets. Then the elephant king suddenly remembered

the king of the rats. He summoned one of the elephants of his herd,

which had not been trapped, to go seek help from the king and toldhim about the trapped elephants.

The rat's king immediately took his entire group of rats and they cut

open the nets which had trapped the elephant's herd. The elephant

herd was totally set free. They danced with joy and thank the rats.

Appendix (clunk cards)Clunk Card #1

Reread the sentence with the clunk

and look for key ideas to help you

figure out the wordthink about

what makes sense!

Clunk Card #2

Reread the sentences before

and after the clunk looking

for clues!

Clunk Card #3

Look for a prefix or suffix in the

word that might help!

Clunk Card #4

Break the word apart andlook for smaller words that

conclusion

Collaborative Strategic Reading is anapproach that works well in mixed-ability

classrooms and helps students improve their

reading comprehension.

CSR can be implemented in a subject-area

classroom, such as science or social studies,

to improve student comprehension of

expository text.


24/25

conclusion It takes time to teach the CSR strategies,

but students benefit is by developing skills

enabling them to better understand the

material in their reading assignments.

An additional benefit is the development of

skills related to working in groups.
