Describe a comprehension think-aloud
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include the following steps:
STEP 1) Model the strategy.
STEP 2) For a student, select a passage of about 200 words that is new to him or her and at the instructional level.
STEP 3) Explain to the reader that the passage will be read in segments marked with stop-points and that at those points he will explain what meaning has been gained from the text.
STEP 4) Prepare to record the session so that you can make a transcription of it along with your observations of the student's meaning construction processes.
STEP 5) After the think-aloud is complete, talk with the student about what he observed and learned from doing a think-aloud.
STEP 6) Analyze the results to determine if the reader:
• Formulates hypotheses.
• Provides information to support the hypotheses generated.
• Draws upon background knowledge and makes intertextual connections.
• Uses strategies, such as rereading, to cope with breakdowns in comprehension.
• Uses strategies to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words.
• Notices inconsistencies between interpretations and the text base.
