Help students become more independent, reflective readers with these differentiated reading comprehension self-assessment checklists.
Good readers recognise when something doesn't make sense and know how to use strategies to improve their understanding.
These three differentiated checklists encourage students to pause during reading, assess their comprehension, identify areas of confusion and select strategies to help them make meaning from a text.
Students then reflect on whether their chosen strategy was effective, developing greater awareness of themselves as readers.
Students will:
Monitor and self-assess their understanding while reading.
Recognise when comprehension breaks down.
Identify words, ideas or sections they find confusing.
Select and apply appropriate comprehension strategies.
Reflect on whether a strategy improved their understanding.
Develop independence and confidence as readers.
What's included:
Explorer Checklist: A highly scaffolded five-step checklist with visual prompts and simple comprehension strategies.
Investigator Checklist: An eight-step checklist encouraging students to identify difficulties, select strategies and evaluate their effectiveness.
Analyst Checklist: A more detailed checklist encouraging deeper reflection, strategic thinking and evaluation of comprehension strategies.
3-page printable PDF digital download.
Perfect for independent reading, guided reading groups, reading conferences and formative assessment.
Suitable for use with a wide range of texts and adaptable to different reading abilities.
