Progress monitoring needs to match the area being monitored. Fluency cannot measure basic skills like phonemic awareness or decoding or blending or syllable work. Decoding cannot measure comprehension. So after you have appropriategoals and services written in the IEP, you need to think about the im...
Focus students’ attention on what they are to learn. Help students to think actively as they read. Encourage students to monitor their comprehension. Help students review content. Relate what they have learned to what they already know. The adult’s task here is to know what the child is ...
Metacognitive self-regulation (MCSR) refers to the ability of learners to monitor and make judgments about their learning/memory, and to use these judgments to guide their learning-related behavior (Kornell & Bjork,2008). All major models examined by Panadero (2017) include metacognitive monitoring ...
Concentration is the ability to purposefully sustain and guide one’s attention to learn, comprehend, observe, monitor, and self-reflect in a given situation. Effective concentration suppresses distractions within our conscious and unconscious awareness. It is a part of our executive functioning. Concen...
2. Engage Learners to Boost Comprehension & Retention You may already know that repetitive reading is a common method for knowledge retention. Simply reading the same thing repeatedly and expecting better retention may appear like a good enough learning practice, but honestly, who’s got the time...
Other instruction techniques that use models include a“think aloud”strategy where a teacher verbalizes what he or she understands or knows as a way to monitor comprehension. Thinking aloud requires talking aloud through the details, decisions, and the reasoning behind those decisions. This strategy...
Pro Tip:If you want the standalone video in your video quiz to appear alongside each of the questions, you can use the“Comprehension”question type. Here’s how to do it: Choose the Comprehension question type from the question type selection window. ...
eyes need to stay on the text to establish letter-sound knowledge versus skipping to picture cues. While picture cues can aid in understanding meaning or comprehension, they should be secondary to using the networks in our brains to read. Explore the concepts behind the Science of Reading in ...
(perceived) problem-solving performance. At first glance, using this cue appears to be sensible, as this cue is highly salient and hence likely easy to monitor during problem-solving. If a learner has acquired a high level of understanding, this should be reflected in good problem-solving ...
Progress tracking: Implement robust tracking mechanisms to allow learners to monitor their progress, identify improvement areas, and know when to ask for support. Consider integrating microlearning elements if you plan to create a self-paced learning program. Examples include bite-sized videos, short ...
