Comprehension strategies refer to a set of techniques and skills that readers use to understand, interpret, and make sense of what they are reading. These strategies help readers to grasp complex ideas, identify important information, and connect new knowledge with their existing understanding. Comprehension strategies include things like making predictions, visualizing, summarizing, questioning, and monitoring comprehension (i.e., checking that you understand what you're reading). The goal of using these strategies is to improve one’s ability to read and understand text, which can ultimately lead to better learning outcomes.
