Collaboration among subjects so connections can be seen easily is the first step in helping students who do not comprehend what they read to begin comprehending. Students need to know that each subject is linked through skills or through material. This helps with comprehension because they are then focusing on one outcome (because all subjects have become one) instead of four.
Connections among their own life, is also important in creating an atmosphere for learning comprehension, because it helps them see what they are reading. When they are able to visualize what they are reading, they are comprehending the material.
