Which strategy would be least useful for students monitor comprehension of a text as they are reading? breaking long sentences into short phrases slowing down and reading the text aloud skimming the text to reach the conclusion relating the text to prior personal knowledge

skimming the text to reach the conclusion

Explanation:

Skimming means to read through paragraphs whilst focusing solely on the main ideas of the passage in order to understand the main message or idea of the passage or content.

How to Skim:

* Start by reading the tittle.

* Follow by reading an introduction or the opening paragraph.

* Read through every first sentence of each paragraph.

* Read any headings and sub-headings.

*Take few seconds to slightly look at the pictures, charts, or graphs.

* Pay attention to boldface words or phrases.

* Read the summary or last paragraph.

The answer is: skimming the text to reach the conclusion.

Explanation:

Skimming means to go through a piece of writing with rapid eye movement in order to move quickly thought it and get the general idea. This is the least useful if what you want is to teach your students "monitor reading comprehension" because what you really want is to comprehend every line for now, not get the general idea. Slowing down allows you to reflect on what you're reading as well as reading aloud (although sometimes this might vary)... Relating the text to prior knowledge is super advisable, as students can relate and thus, come up with a more complete comprehension; the same happens with breaking long sentences into small ones, as they paraphrase in a certain way and this is another great technique.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
