The document discusses using technology to develop reading comprehension skills through the START framework. START involves modeling and scaffolding eight comprehension strategies during teacher read-alouds. The strategies include predicting, visualizing, making connections, questioning, determining main ideas, summarizing, checking predictions, and making judgments. A variety of technologies are presented that teachers can use before, during, and after reading to engage students in practicing the comprehension strategies, such as Blabberize for predicting, VoiceThread for questioning and connecting, and Fotobabble for summarizing. The goal is to improve students' reading comprehension through actively teaching comprehension strategies.

USING TECHNOLOGY TO DEVELOP COMPREHENSION SKILLS IN THE CONTENT AREA IRA Conference: Whitney Westfall
PROBLEM WITH READING TODAY According to the International Reading Association (IRA), • Students read BUT do not understand • Little comprehension instruction given in the classroom • Students need more strategies to be metacognitive readers & thinkers
A SOLUTION According to the IRA, • Although comprehension improves through extensive reading, researchers have concluded that comprehension could improve more if all readers were taught to use the comprehension strategies that good readers use
START COMPREHENDING: STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ACTIVELY READING TEXT •The START framework can improve students’ reading-comprehension achievement and instruction through the modeling and scaffolding of eight comprehension strategies during teacher read-aloud.
8 COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES OF START 1. predicting/inferring 2. visualizing 3. making connections 4. questioning 5. determining main idea 6. summarizing 7. checking predictions 8. making judgments art
BEFORE READING: PREDICTING • Blabberize  How to make a blabber (with student examples)  Example with “A Bad Case of the Stripes” • Glogster  How to make a glogster  Example with “Sniffy and Fluffy Have an Adventure” • Pinterest Resources  http://pinterest.com/momma2c/predictions/  http://pinterest.com/12trey16/predicting/  http://pinterest.com/mbnickerson/predicting/

DURING READING: MAKING CONNECTIONS/QUESTIONING • VoiceThread Example of 5th grade students asking questions during their Egyptian Unit. Students watched the created content and asked questions about the information. Example of 2nd grade students making connections to information learned during their animal unit. Example of 1st grade students fall unit on apples. Here, students read their poems while it’s displayed on screen. Example of 4th grade students explain their robots. Example of 3rd grade students using voice thread on math facts.

AFTER READING: SUMMARIZING/CHECKING • Fotobabble How to create a Fotobabble Example of a student using fotobabble to retell her story. Students from another class had to try to guess the story based on the summary. • Polleverywhere Check it
AFTER READING: MAKING JUDGMENTS • Photostory
OTHER RESOURCES • Scoop It: tool is helpful for parents to have access to sites based on what is being taught in the classroom for support • Fodey: tool can be used during writers workshop at a center or whole group with the newspaper generator • PhotoPeach: tool is great when going on observation walks (create pictures w/captions) • Voki: tool can be used for children to tell about themselves • Vocaroo: tool is helpful for recording to model fluency or to share their writing in writing workshop
