Reflections

Anytime a student reads comprehension is the central and guiding focus. One method of seeing through a student's eyes of what she comprehends is through her own writing or drawing about the story. In most cases it provides a good idea of her interpretations and understanding. This reflection provides a glimpse into the understanding of the reading by the student.

These refelctions may also be shared through a short talk or discussion by the group. It is one of the strongest methods parents and teachers may use to assess a student's comprehension and understanding.

Take time to listen to the thoughts of young readers and a whole new world opens before your eyes.
