This guide is subject to WWC version 2.0 standards. The Reading Comprehension for Beginning Readers practice guide is designed to provide concrete, actionable, research-based suggestions for classroom and school practices in grades K through 3 that can improve reading comprehension outcomes. Given the breadth of comprehension as a topic, the range of competing definitions in the field for comprehension, and the diverse needs of students, the panel will establish clear parameters for the scope of the guide, including the literature it considers when making research-based recommendations in order to produce a guide that is manageably-sized for practitioners.
