Moving beyond Decoding: Teaching Pronoun Resolution to Develop Reading Comprehension
Letchford, Lois; Rasinski, Timothy
Reading Teacher, v75 n2 p233-240 Sep-Oct 2021
"Little" words often carry complex meanings. Pronoun resolution is an essential component of comprehension. Skilled readers work to maintain text cohesion (i.e., they resolve the pronouns as needed.) Less proficient readers often are not as proficient in resolving pronouns. Limited pronoun resolution limits comprehension. This article defines pronoun resolution as a comprehension task and offers instructional approaches to teaching students this oft-neglected comprehension strategy.
