The One About:
Don’t Discard Comprehension Strategies with Jennifer Buckingham
“The arguments against teaching comprehension skills and strategies are often framed in these ways: 1) Comprehension skills/strategies are not generic, transferable competencies … so it is a waste of time to teach them explicitly.
2) Reading comprehension is highly dependent on background knowledge … so an evidence-based approach to reading comprehension is to always embed instruction in a knowledge-building context.
These two statements are only partly true.” – Jennifer Buckingham
