The company says these provide an effective way to engage students in the learning process.

[Western Australia, October 27, 2014] – R.I.C. Publications, a leading provider of relevant teacher resource products, offers interactive game cards called Teaching Comprehension Strategies. The publisher explains that these school resources are capable of teaching students the skills and strategies needed for effective comprehension.

Identifying the strategies

According to R.I.C. Publications, effective comprehension increases the usefulness of reading. Thus, knowing the strategies is vital to make sure that students understand what they read. The publisher identifies the strategies as understanding words, finding information, identifying the main idea, sequencing, comparing, predicting, concluding summarising, inferring, cause and effect, fact or opinion and point of view.

The group explains that interactive game cards can help students develop these skills. R.I.C. Publications says teachers can designate tasks to students in each game. To win, the students need to use their active listening skills. Incorporating games to any teaching approach is one of the best ways to grab the attention of students.

Effective teaching materials

Teaching Comprehension Strategies are designed to take learning to the application level and customised to suit the strategy being highlighted. The materials can stimulate worthwhile discussion. According to R.I.C. Publications, these materials contain examples, activities and test pages, where students may apply the strategy being taught. There are background notes and information for each strategy to assist the teacher, thus ensuring the widest possible application.


R.I.C. Publications adds that the Teaching Comprehension Strategies series teaches comprehension, and not merely talks about it.
