Effective Reading Comprehension Strategies

The video tutorial by School on Wheels introduces four key reading comprehension strategies: making connections, retelling, asking questions, and making predictions. These strategies help readers understand and engage with texts more effectively. The tutorial provides examples using 'The Three Little Pigs' to illustrate how these strategies can be applied. By practicing these strategies, students can improve their reading comprehension and enjoy reading more.
