Abstract
In recent times there has been more of an interest in multi-strategy intervention programs to improve the reading ability of students who struggle with reading comprehension. The development of a routine framework should enable students to develop skills and apply those skills using many different texts and genres. A concern is that these programs may be too complex for teachers to successfully implement in their classrooms. Another concern is how do teachers organise and decide on the most effective comprehension strategies to include in combination? Researchers have identified a small number of very effective reading comprehension strategies that can be used in combination. What is important is that a consistent and integrated framework will provide the opportunity for students to develop a set of strategies that can be applied routinely and systematically throughout the course of their reading intervention. A routine framework can be structured in such a way s to promote self-regulated learning by incorporating a metacognitive set of procedures.
