Comprehension Strategy Analysis

So for this observation I observed two children in my class, and found that they have been predicting what the stories will be about, and their always making connections. They tell me what they think will happen when we are in large group and small literacy groups. I have asked the children questions that have them think of a time they did something or other such questions that allows them to connect to the story. There have also been times that the children listen to the story and they have an 'Ah-ha' moment and tell me about something that connects them to the story.
A few strategies that I think I would begin to use with these children would be questioning and summarizing. I think that these should come next and I will perhaps start implementing this into my large group read alounds and also my small literacy groups. I feel that the children are starting to use the questioning strategies because children in kindergarten are always asking questions and I think that they're at the point where they're learning to ask questions about the story to clarify confusions and make inferences. The next thing would be summarizing so they can have a better recall when their reading.

Until next time...
