Metacomprehension during Basal Reader Instruction: Do Teachers Promote It?

Schmitt, Maribeth Cassidy; Baumann, James F.

Reading Research and Instruction, v29 n3 p1-13 Spr 1990

Analyzes elementary teachers' interactions with students during guided reading of basal reader selections to determine the extent to which the interactions promote students' metacomprehension abilities. Finds that teachers assumed most of the responsibility for students' comprehension themselves rather than conducting the lessons in a manner that promoted metacomprehension abilities. (MG)
