Lesson Planning Standard 3: Reading Comprehension

Reading comprehension has a great difference between knowing how to read. Knowing how to read doesn’t necessarily mean you will comprehend what you read. This is why teachers must promote reading comprehension in reading. It us our job to make students understand what they are reading. Reading will eventually help student expand their vocabulary and perfect their writing skills. Each of the forms of communication are important, and each of them separately are not effective, they must function together, in order to maximize the learning process.

BEST – My best lesson of my reading comprehension unit was the first day of reading the play “War of the Worlds” by Orson Welles. The reading selection is a play. My strategy for making the reading motivating and interesting was to make student role play they story. I gave the student the chance to read and dramatize the play. The student were very motivating, and more importantly they understood what was presented in the first scene of the play. I was able to see the importance of using great strategies that will capture the student’s attention and understanding.

LEAST – The reason I chose this lesson plan is not because the objectives were not met, it because the students weren’t able to identify the cause and effect exercises with an accurate answer. I feel that I should reinforce the cause and effect skill to the students, because according to the standards, it is required for the students of ninth grade to identity cause and effect from reading selections.
