Comprehension Interventions

I've been researching some interventions for comprehension and I found some from www.jimwrightonline.com that I felt would be effective for the needs of my students! This week I'm going to implement the "Click or Clunk" method.  Basically it is teaching the student how to self-monitor comprehension while reading. After every sentence the student reads, the student says "Click" if he understands or "Clunk" if he doesn't. I think I'm going to make a card that says "click" on one side and "Clunk" on the other. Or, because I LOVE stamping, I may stamp a heart on one side to represent "Click," and an "N" on the other side to represent "Clunk." I'll take pics of the finished products and post them soon! Anybody else have ideas for comprehension interventions, especially if they're research based??

Comprehension Pin Wheels!

I was at the Dollar Tree looking for Valentine's stuff, and I came across some garden pin wheels! I was so excited I had to buy them! Well, they've been sitting in my trunk for the past 2 weeks because I couldn't decide what on earth to do with them. Some of my lower students have been struggling with comprehension, so my mind has been thinking of creative ways to help support them more. So, I came up with this idea! Something simple, and it's probably been done before. I made one that can be used in a primary classroom and one that can be used in an intermediate classroom.
