The use of KWL charts is something that many people have heard of and some people use regularly. If you don't know what a KWL chart is, it stands for three questions that a reader should ask him or herself while they are reading to monitor his or her comprehension.
K-What do I think I Know?
W-What do I Want to know?
L-What have I Learned?
The student should answer the first two questions before reading and the last question after reading. Some researchers and teachers (me included) believe that there should be one more question. Let's call it C.
C-What if I am confused?
The purpose of this letter is for the student to realize that not everytime will the answer to his or her questions be found in the current text that he or she is reading. If the answer was not found, the student should find a way to get the answer. He or she may choose to read another text which may have the answer or find another way to discover the answer.
