READING STRATEGIES

When I do my reading homework, I should use active reading strategies.

Why?

1.      So I can understand what I read.

2.    So I can learn and do well in school

3.    So I will make fewer mistakes, so I will not have to feel frustrated or confused

4.    So I can feel proud and find out what I can do when I try my best!

During Reading:

     Track

        Whisper-read

        Write down tricky words on sticky notes

        When you find a tricky word:  Try to sound it out.  Ask someone!  What is this word? What does it mean?

Steps to Success during Reading:

1.      Read title, picture walk, think, predict

2.    Track, whisper-read, read carefully, find tricky words, sound out words, ask someone about tricky words, write down words on sticky notes

3.    Re-read for fluency practice and better understanding; practice good expression and pay attention to punctuation

4.    If there are questions that you need to answer:  read the questions, think about what you need to find out

5.    Re-read (whisper-read and track) and think about the key words from the questions

6.    Answer the questions:  Find Proof whenever you can!
