Teachers' knowledge of reading comprehension processes is underresearched relative to teachers' knowledge of word identification and phonological awareness.In this study, sixty-two pre-and inservice upper-elementary and middle school English language arts, science, and social studies teachers completed in-depth interview protocols eliciting multiple aspects of knowledge about reading comprehension processes.Using qualitative analyses, we found that teachers in the sample demonstrated knowledge in four consistent areas: strategizing, grappling to achieve coherence, leveraging and producing knowledge, and participating socially.We propose these concepts as a starting point for characterizing teachers' knowledge of how comprehension processes work when they are well developed.We discuss implications of these findings for future research and practice in literacy teacher education.
