Everyone has a sense of comprehension. Comprehension is a process of what is read or even what you think about a picture. There is multiple ways to comprehend the text that you read and that is stored up into your schemata as info that might also link to info you already knew. A quote from Diane Stanley has really caught my eye " A child who reads good books will prosper. She will develop her vocabulary, increase her knowledge, and come to understand others better. She will pass dull moments in pleasure, receive comfort in hard times, and experience moments of sheer joy. What else could possibly be better?". I have to completely agree with that because when a child reads their imagination comes alive and they can visit a world of grandure.
The teacher is more of a facilitator and role model for their students. The teachers need to support their kids and set their bar a liitle high and guide the students to that bar and let them soar on their own. This method is known as scaffolding which is supportive teaching that includes questioning, modeling, feedback, and instruction that was thought up by Vygotsky.
Vocabulary is also very important for students to know because the better their vocab the more eloquent and intelligent they will sound in their speaking. Spelling bees and spelling tests will help them keep in practice with their vocabulary.
