reading strategies

I've found that at the intermediate level it is absolutely necessary that students learn what reading is. Too many of them believe that if they sound good when they read orally, that they are good readers. So, in my fifth grade classroom we begin by defining what reading is...being able to decode words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. AND comprehending what is read. We focus on phonics skills (especially multi-syllable words) to help decode, comprehension strategies to help understand, and vocabulary building activities to broaden understanding.
