    Though this post is written for college students ready to take the GRE as a part of what is required for graduate college admission, what the author says here applies to younger students as well. Establish a reading habit, and you'll develop higher comprehension skills over time. Some of the suggested RSS feeds are suitable for high school students, but a teacher would want to develop his or her own list of suitable RSS feeds from which students could select according to their own individual needs and interests.

Using the Internet to Facilitate Improved Reading Comprehension - ReadWriteThink - 2 views

    A great lesson idea from readwritethink. Students predict the content of a post by reading the "advertisement" for that post in an RSS feed. After making predictions, students write those in a T-chart. Then they read the blog post and figure out if predictions were right. They use the other side of the t-chart to indicate whether their predictions were accurate or not.  If students were inaccurate, ask them to explain their thinking Why was their prediction inaccurate? What would have helped them to make an accurate prediction?
