Many authors suggest that there is a coming crisis in U.S. middle and secondary schools (Moje, Young, Readence, & Moore, 2000). This crisis comes in the form of reading difficulties. While many primary schools have emphasized word recognition and decoding, decoding does not guarantee comprehension. The result is that many students who can read fluently are unable to comprehend the words that they read (Pressley & Block, 2002). Thus, some middle and secondary teachers may spoon-feed texts to their students, reading a text aloud or summarizing an entire text for them. Other teachers may do nothing to aid their students' comprehension, assigning text to be read without any support. Either scenario is usually because teachers do not know how to help students develop the skills and strategies necessary for reading comprehension Greenleaf, Jimenez, & Roller, 2002). This article describes 6 strategies that teachers can use to help students develop and promote better reading skills.
