This month, we'll been focusing on the essential skill of self-monitoring while reading. But what exactly is self-monitoring? It's the ability to recognize when we're understanding what we're reading and when we're not, and then to take steps to improve our comprehension. In our mini-lessons, we've been discussing strategies such as pausing to check for understanding, asking questions when something doesn't make sense, and rereading to clarify. By practicing self-monitoring, our students are not only becoming more fluent readers but also deepening their comprehension of texts.
