Today is a special episode for me. We have a guest on today\u2019s podcast, but it\u2019s not just any guest, it\u2019s Tori La Rue, who happens to be my sister! In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re talking about crucial reading comprehension skills and how you can differentiate them.
\nThroughout the episode, we discussed a lot of different strategies to help students improve their reading comprehension, but the one way we find the most important is activating background knowledge. While this is a set that some teachers might skip due to time restraints, but think about it. You can\u2019t learn anything without previously connecting it with something you\u2019ve already learned. That\u2019s background knowledge!
\nOther skills that work on reading comprehension are finding the main idea, figuring out the meaning of words through context clues, and drawing conclusions and comparisons from the text. Based on our conversation, we realized that this skill is not only used in the classroom, but are life skills that can grow and develop.
