Explicit Instruction in Comprehension

What I found most beneficial from this chapter was the use of lists and charts.  The way that these were organized made it easier for me to read and comprehend.  Her list is divided up into different strategies that help us, as teachers, teach explicitly and directly.  She places a lot of emphasis on identifying the strategy being used and then explaining to the student body, how to use that strategy. I thought it was very interesting that she made reading a very active activity.  By pausing every so often to reflect on what was being read is not something that happens very often.  Most people just break down reading by chapters, but here every few sentences or pararaphs were being broken down.  I thought this was important because it kept the brain constantly thinking, helping readers stimulate the brain to help them gain the strategy and skill of reading.  This also went on to determine the difference of direct and scripted instruction.  I found scripted instruction to be very restricting in some aspects.  I felt that it did not leave much room for individualistic teaching.  Not all people learn the same way, so we need to be able to shape our teaching styles to those different learners.  So what I question, is that if we are trying to help each student individually with their struggles, why are we going to give them instructions based on just one idea?
