Reading Explanation texts can be challenging but fun if the readers can find an appropriate strategy from activating prior knowledge to wrapping up. This handout is designed with learning logs with three units of Explanation texts with Collaborative Strategic Reading as the instructional comprehension strategy from before, during, and after reading. The step-by-step comprehension strategy comprises Preview, Click and Clunk, Get the Gist, and Wrap-Up. This handout creates collaboration in reading classrooms that is alive and meaningful for eighth-grade students since each reading unit has a straightforward procedure or instruction.
