Students are taught how to read at a very young age, but how well do the students understand what they are reading? Students are taught how to read the words on the paper, but do they comprehend what the words mean when used together? What can educators do to help students think critically and really understand what is being taught? Teachers and school librarians have the responsibility of encouraging students by showing them important strategies and techniques that will have them reading for comprehension and making connections to the world around them. One technique that research shows to be very successful--one that the author thinks should be used in every school--is the concept of "coteaching" in which the teacher and school librarian work together in the same environment to help students learn. In this article, the author explains the six strategies for comprehension that must be addressed when teaching students how to read for comprehension. Teachers and school librarians have many helpful tools for instructing students, so imagine combining all of those tools when teaching students how to read and, more importantly, how to read critically. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) helps educators determine what they are doing right and what needs to change to improve student learning. By incorporating the strategies for comprehension, team teaching, and EBP, teachers and school librarians can help students succeed in ways they never considered.
