Overall design of program is good
Reading selections are long (several paragraphs).
Reading selections are complete works rather than excerpts.
Content of reading selections is appropriate for college
students.
Tasks involve students in constructing ideas, rather than in
answering objective questions.
Previewing Accessing prior knowledge Establishing a purpose for reading Determining text structure and organization Asking questions x Defining terms as used in context Monitoring comprehension Using fix-up strategies when comprehension breaks down Paraphrasing and summarizing author's ideas Relating author's background to reading selection Determining author's purpose and attitude Relating ideas in reading selection to other ideas Evaluating the validity of the author's claims Collaborating with other ideas
Students answer vocabulary and comprehension questions about a paragraph. Questions are multiple-choice. Computer keeps records for each student. Only small sections of text can be seen at one time. Program cannot be exited at any time.Evaluator
