 * A process of comprehension and constructing meaning. The Reading Process teaches children how to read and read effectively and teaches them the tools they need to be able to read for learning purposes.
 *  The 5 step process (Prereading, reading, responding, exploring and applying) are the key feature of the reading process that good teachers should follow with their students.
 * Can be used for any age/grade level because its essentially learning to read and then focusing in on skills to improve reading and comprehension of what you are reading.
 * Students who have trouble with comprehension and other reading difficulties will most likely come with IEP’s. These students might need extra help or varied assignments to go along with reading. The same accommodations you would give for any assignment having to do with reading would more than likely apply to the reading process as well.
 * The 5 thinking strategies that I included are a great tool to help teach your students what to do when they read. This could be something you have written on a poster somewhere in your classroom to remind the students to keep thinking while reading. There are also Reading aloud to students can be used for a variety of purposes at any level.
 *  It is beneficial because it teaches students how to actively read and read to learn (which is what they do from 4th grade on). You are giving the students the strategies that they need to succeed in school at any level.
