[The following is excerpted with permission from Klingner, Janette, Sharon Vaughn, Joseph Dimino, Jeanne Schumm, and Diane Bryant. Collaborative Strategic Reading: Strategies for Improved Comprehension. Longmont: Sopris West, 2001.] Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) combines the essential reading comprehension strategies that have been demonstrated to be effective in improving students' understanding of text with cooperative learning groups or paired learning. CSR takes advantage of the growing knowledge among educators that youngsters need to be taught specific strategies to enhance their understanding of a text but should not be overwhelmed with so many strategies that they are unable to decide which ones to use (Klingler et al., 2). The four reading strategies taught within CSR are: Preview, Click and Clunk, Get the Gist, and Wrap Up. For more information on how CSR is implemented, click here.
