The Storyboards teaching strategy helps students keep track of a narrative’s main ideas and supporting details by having them illustrate the story’s important scenes. Storyboarding can be used when texts are read aloud or when students read independently. Checking the thoroughness and accuracy of students’ storyboards is an effective way for you to evaluate reading comprehension before moving on to more analytic tasks.
