      Introduction

      It’s time for a new model of reading comprehension instruction. Research during the past several decades has resulted in significant increases in understanding about reading comprehension itself (e.g., Israel, 2017). Helping students make meaning from texts is critical to their success, and reading comprehension is one of the oldest lines of inquiry in education; Thorndike noted that comprehension required “a cooperation of many forces” (1917, p. 232). Following a comprehensive review of research, Snow (2002) clarified those forces and noted that comprehension is dependent on four variables:

      1 Reader variables: age, ability, affect, knowledge bases, motivation

      2 Text variables: genres, format, features, considerateness

      3 Educational-context variables: environment, task, social grouping, purpose

      4 Teacher variables: knowledge, experience, attitude, pedagogical approach

      Models of reading instruction

      But models for helping teachers develop students’ comprehension have not kept pace with the knowledge about what comprehension is. While there are strategies such as modeling or reciprocal teaching, a unifying framework for reading comprehension instruction remains elusive. Importantly, reading comprehension instruction should be more than a pile of strategies. The field needs a structured approach to comprehension instruction. We propose that students need to experience reading comprehension instruction across three phases: skill, will, and thrill (see Figure i.1). When they do, students come to see the instructional experiences their teachers provide them as purposeful. Importantly, they begin to accept responsibility for their learning and understand that struggle is a natural part of the process.

       Reading comprehension instruction should be more than a pile of strategies. The field needs a structured approach to comprehension instruction.
