Abstract

Sixth-graders (N = 282) judged their level of comprehension for six expository texts after writing keywords, summaries, or no additional activity. Afterwards, teachers (N = 14) judged the students’ level of comprehension while seeing the keywords or summaries. Monitoring accuracy was low in all conditions, and did not differ between students and teachers. It seems difficult for teachers to help students distinguish between texts they have understood well and texts they have understood poorly.
