About Timothy Shanahan:Comprehension Skills or Strategies: Is there a difference and does it matter?
Teacher question:
What’s the difference between comprehension skills and comprehension strategies? Are they synonyms or do we teach different things when we are teaching them?
Shanahan response:
I’m glad you asked.
Comprehension skills and comprehension strategies are very different things.
They are often confused; the terms are often used interchangeably by those who don’t understand or appreciate the distinctions they carry.
And, most importantly, these concepts energize different kinds of teaching.
