« Strategy for Christy Baker | Main | Heather Travis' Strategy »
The KWL Chart encompasses all three reading components-before, during, and after reading. This strategy improves comprehension by activating prior knowledge, encouraging student predictions, and thinking about the reading and learning. Students enjoy sharing what they know and are motivated to learn when they understand their purpose for reading.
