1. Literacy Strategies

2. Reading and reading comprehension go hand-in-hand and can play a huge role in determining a student’s success not only in school but in their future. Finding the right strategies to help our students overcome the hurdles that are standing in the way of them improving their reading fluency and comprehension is difficult, but not impossible.

3. 1. Brainstorming: Brainstorming involves thinking of possible solutions to a problem or answers to a question. When students brainstorm possible ideas for writing, it can help them expand on their thinking and develop new ideas. Brainstorming can also build reading comprehension when students think of possible answers for a question about their book, such as how the main character might solve their problem.

4. 2 . Visualization Visualization refers to forming a mental image to accompany a story you are reading. It can be extremely beneficial for helping students understand what is actually happening in a story. They are more likely to be able to make connections with a book and answer higher-order thinking questions if they can visualize the events in the story to gain a deeper understanding of what the story is about.

5. 3. Questioning: Questioning is another very important literacy strategy to help children develop. It is having students ask questions about what they are reading. Asking questions can help students stay focused on a text and can also help them develop stronger skills to find the answers to their own questions, as well as the questions a peer or teacher may ask.

6. 4. Drawing: Just as visualizing can help students with reading comprehension, drawing what they are visualizing can also help. Drawing can also be an effective strategy to use before having students write about something.

7. 5.Rhythm, Rhyme, and Music: Tapping into music and rhythm can also help student increase their understanding of a topic. You can have students create a song or a rhyme about a book they are reading to share with the class. You may also consider presenting new information to students using a rhyme to help them remember important concepts.

8. 6. Cooperative Learning: There are a lot of benefits associated with cooperative learning. Improving reading and writing skills are two of these benefits. When students work with others in the class, they can learn new ways of thinking and responding to problems. Sometimes peers can be the best teachers.

9. 7. Writing Engaging students in writing throughout the language arts block is important. In addition to answering oral questions about texts they read, they should also be writing their answers. This can help improve their comprehension of a text and will also have the added benefit of improving their writing skills.

10. 8.Graphic Organizers: Graphic organizers are such an important tool to use with students. During a reading lesson, they can be used to help students make connections with the text, sequence events, identify cause and effect relationships, compare and contrast different aspects of the text, and so much more. They can also be invaluable during writing to help students get their ideas organized into different sections before they start writing.

11. 9. Games Games can be another fun way to engage students and help solidify learning. You can use games to review concepts or major events in a book. You can also consider incorporating a game of catch into your lessons by tossing a small ball to students when it is their turn to answer a question or read aloud a portion of a book.

12. 10. Presentations: Presentations are a great way to have students practise all language systems areas (vocabulary, grammar, discourse and phonology) and skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening). They also build confidence, and presenting is a skill that most people will need in the world of work. I find that students who are good presenters are better communicators all round, since they are able to structure and express their ideas clearly.
