Guided reading fix up strategies

The Collaborative for Teaching and Learning

STRATEGY FOCUS

PURPOSE

Fix-Up strategies are used during reading and can be used in all content areas to help improve student understanding of the text. It is not effective to simply tell students to monitor their reading comprehension. They need to be taught how to monitor their comprehension and how to use Fix-Up strategies through explicit instruction with modeling and guided practice. When students monitor their reading comprehension (i.e., metacognition) and realize they don’t understand what they just read, Fix-Up strategies can help improve their understanding of text and assist students in developing the skills to self-regulate their reading.
