Writing to Improve Reading Comprehension

We explored written responses as part of daily reading practice. Going beyond the verbal response and asking children to explain what they know and why they know it in different ways.

Some great questions to ask readers to write about:
What did you do as a good reader?
What strategy did you use today that helped you?
