Kymes Article

The article "Teaching On-line Comprehension Using Think-Alouds" was very eye opening. This article focuses on the fact that students do not always comprehend what they are reading on the internet. Our students have become very good at "scanning" to find information. I like the idea of teaching our students how to read internet information. I use think alouds all the time in my classroom for reading. I think I will try "Think-Alouds" using the web this coming fall. We need to teach our students to value "all" text!
