Explicit Comprehension Instruction in an Automated Reading Tutor that Listens: Year 1 Jack Mostow, Albert Corbett, Joseph Valeri, and Juliet Bey (Project LISTEN, Carnegie Mellon University); Nell K. Duke (Michigan State University); Christina Trotochaud (Grand Ledge Public Schools) 4. User-test scripts on Reading Tutors in school 6. Annotate responses: what should the Tutor say in reply (and why)? Say nothing. (This question is a "what do you think" question, so any reasonable answer is acceptable.) Think about the senses that we already talked about in this text…try again. (Apples is not a sense.) Great! You learned about many of the senses. Can you think about what we do with our ears? What do we do with our mouth? (Only mentioned 3/5 senses.) We did learn about the 5 senses! Can you think about what any of the senses are? (The student did not specifically mention any of the senses.) 3. Implement in Reading Tutor 5. Transcribe recorded student responses 2. Instantiate model of scripted instruction v. Prompt the strategy: Now YOU can provide a summary of the text with ALL FIVE senses. Give it a try. Say your summary out loud. Then click Go. i. Set purpose: This text tells what the five senses are and how you use them. After you finish reading, I will ask you to tell me about what you read, and I will record what you say. I will help you practice giving a summary while you read. ii. Describe the strategy: This text starts with a summary of what you will learn. A summary tells the main point or points of a text. Good readers make summaries as they read. See how well you can summarize in this text, when the Reading Tutor asks you. iii. Model the strategy: I am going to take a moment to summarize. So far the text has told us about two senses: seeing and hearing. We use our eyes to see and our ears to hear. iv. Scaffold the strategy: Now we can add something to the summary I did earlier. Think about the two senses you read about after seeing and hearing. What do you think the fifth sense is? Answer out loud and click Go. 1.

We see things with our eyes. We hear sounds with our ears. Our nose helps us smell. Our mouth lets us taste. And we touch things with our fingers. Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting, and Touching are all called senses. Most people have five senses. We use our eyes to look…. …We can also hear the sirens from fire trucks or music from a radio. We use our nose to find out how things smell.…Chips taste salty, and medicine tastes bitter. We use our fingers to touch and feel…. Sometimes we can get hurt when we touch things like a cactus. i.
