We have also seen teachers use the K-W-L with narrative texts. Ogle (1986) originally designed the K-W-Lwith expository texts in mind. The W of K-W-L is particularly designed to help the reader develop a purpose and focus for reading these often nonlinear texts. The underlying strategies of activating background knowledge and questioning are undoubtedly effective with narrative texts as well. However, we caution that we know of no research that examines the effectiveness of the K-W-L with narrative texts.(p. 359). However, DRTA, a strategy that requires students to make, and justify, and revisit predictions while reading, was associated with positive reading gains through multiple measures. This does not mean that teachers should completely abandon the K-W-Lapproach. We believe that in light of the research on the approach itself and good comprehension, teachers should use K-W-L judiciously as a part of a larger program of comprehension instruction.
