What is the name of the comprehension strategy that engages students by having them respond to statements related to key concepts in the text?

The comprehension strategy that engages students by having them respond to statements related to key concepts in the text is called an anticipation guide. This strategy involves presenting students with a series of statements about a specific topic or key concepts before they read the text. Students then indicate their agreement or disagreement with these statements based on their prior knowledge or beliefs.

This approach serves multiple purposes: it activates prior knowledge, sets a purpose for reading, and fosters engagement by prompting students to think critically about the content before they encounter it. As students read, they can reflect on how their views may have changed or been reinforced, leading to deeper comprehension and discussion after reading.

The other strategies, while effective in their own right, focus on different aspects of comprehension. For example, K-W-L is used for assessing what students know (K), what they want to know (W), and what they have learned (L) after reading. A concept web visually organizes ideas and relationships in the text, and a story map helps students outline the elements of a narrative. Each serves important functions but does not specifically engage students in responding to statements about key concepts as the anticipation guide does.
