Scaffolding Reading Comprehension Through Student Questioning
Speaking Briefly: An Overview of the Literacy Strategy
Scaffolding Reading Comprehension Through Student Questioning provides all learners with explicit modeling and guided practice in self-monitoring and metacognition (Manyak & Bauer, 2008). The purpose of the strategy is to engage learners in collaborative strategic reading (Klinger & Vaughn, 1999) to cooperatively process content-area text.
Research confirms that all learners benefit from authentic literacy events that facilitate discussion and attention to the features and structures of specific genres (Purcell-Gates, Duke, & Martineau, 2007). In this strategy, support is embedded as readers work with a partner to identify new vocabulary words and assimilate new concepts.
