Accomplish Reading: Comprehension Monitoring 

Comprehension Monitoring Improves Reading Comprehension

      • When readers monitor their comprehension, they  are aware that incoming information makes sense and that it is getting stored in  memory.  This metacognitive reading skill improves reading comprehension.

Research: “Activating Children’s Metacognitive Reading Processes.”

    • Jane Offutt conducted a double-blind study comparing ACCOMPLISH READING’S training methods to traditional reading training methods.
    • The ACCOMPLISH READING group did significantly better on informal measures of comprehension monitoring. 
    • The ACCOMPLISH READING group also did significantly better  on a standardized test of reading comprehension using ANCOVA measurements. 
      • Successful  readers intuitively monitor their comprehension; however, less able students are not able to monitor their comprehension as a check on comprehension.
      •  “It is not effective to merely tell students to monitor their reading comprehension. Rather, students need to be taught how to monitor their comprehension. This requires explicit instruction with sufficient modeling and guided practice. ”  Iris Center – “Monitor Comprehension” – https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/sec-rdng/cresource/q3/p10/
