Reading Strategy of the Month Archives

Current Reading Strategy of the Month:
January 2010- Double Entry Diary

 Research and practice has shown that many students have difficulty engaging with text (especially non-fiction) and forming meaning while they read.  Reading comprehension can be extra challenging for students who are not interested in or do not know how to form connections with the text or topic at hand.  “Faced with complex issues or concepts--as is frequently the case in course content--students can use writing to sort things out, to clarify, organize their thoughts, connect old knowledge to new, and, in the process, personalize the content” ( Hughes, Kooy, & Kanevsky, 1997, p.187).  This is the rationale behind using the Double Entry Diary, also known as the Double Entry Journal.
