Improving Comprehension

Edgar Dale, author of Audio-Visual Methods in Teaching,  included the following insights into what helps strengthen comprehension:

We remember...

10% of what we read

20 % of what we hear

30% of what we see

50% of what we both see and hear

70% of what we talk about with others

Offering our students guided, structured and purpose driven collaboration opportunites, will help them better understand our reading assignments.
