Send for the POSSE: Structuring the Comprehension Dialogue.

Englert, Carol Sue; Mariage, Troy

Academic Therapy, v25 n4 p473-87 Mar 1990

POSSE, an instructional procedure for a reading comprehension curriculum, structures classroom dialogue about text meaning. Students with mild handicaps predict what the story will be about, organize their knowledge, search for the text structure, summarize, and evaluate. POSSE's successful application is dependent upon effective lesson dialogue and student leadership in the dialogue. (JDD)
