Post-reading StrategiesThere is a whole wealth of post-reading strategies strategies out there, this area is only limited by the imagination. I don't mean to keep harping on narration or re-telling but again it is probably the most valuable as well as easy to use of any reading strategies I've ever seen. Other ideas: 1. Dramatization. Have your student(s) act out the story they just read. 2. Make a sequel. In one or two paragraphs write down what might come next if the author were to write a sequel. Note what would happen, who would it happen to, why would it happen etc.3. Re-write (or explain orally) the ending. Discuss with your student how the story could have ended differently.4. Draw a cartoon strip of the story. Again, stick figures are fine to use. Give your student a set number of frames he has to have.5. For visual and kinesthetic learners the free reading comprehension worksheets with graphic organizers work well. (Have you heard that before?) :) There are also many good internet sites that have them.5. Ask any good teacher! We have a whole arsenal of ideas. Anything from book reports to making movies, the list for strategies to use after reading is endless.
