Comprehension should be the main goal of every teacher in the english classroom. A student should be "reading to learn." This will help them enjoy the books that they are reading and help them branch out and read for fun outside of the classroom. There are many strategies that help children increase their comprehension. In chapter 8 of Catching Readers Before They Fall, the authors go into detail about questioning and visualizing. In each lesson, the teacher uses big books so every student can read the text. The teacher also first models the strategy being used. Another crucial step in teaching students comprehension is to provide them with authentic opportunities where they can practice the strategies.
