It outlines seven key strategies: 1) Make connections, 2) Ask questions, 3) Determine importance, 4) Infer and predict, 5) Visualize, 6) Synthesize, and 7) Use fix-up strategies when having trouble.

LESSON 3: READING STRATEGIES


<<
Metacognition: Thinking about
how you think
● Before you can truly develop your reading skills, you need to know
what happens in good readers; minds while they read. You may
even do these things already.
● Good readers have developed good habits when they read. We
call these habits strategies. Strategies help readers understand,
connect to, and determine the importance of what they are reading.
They also visualize, ask questions about, and read between the lines
of what they read.
THE
READING
STRATEGIES
1. Make Connections. In making connection,
try to consider the following:

-Text to Self (similar events in your life)


-Text to Text (books, movies, T.V., etc.)
-Text to Life (real world events)

Ask yourself: a. What do I already know about this?


b. Has anything similar ever happened to me?
c. How would I feel if this happened to me?
d. Can I relate to the characters?
e. Does this story remind me of something?
2. Ask Questions. In asking questions, try to consider
the following:
a. What is it that you do not get?
b. What is it that you get?
c. What are the words that you do not understand?
d. What other questions do I have?
e. What do you wonder about as you read?

Why Ask Questions?


a. Asking questions helps keep you focused on the text.
b. If your mind wanders, you will not understand; then, you will be bored.
c. If you run into problems, things you just do not understand, then you can check yourself with a
question.
3
Determine the
Importance of Inferring
and Predicting.
The following are two of the important things to
remember:

FIRST SECOND
-Think about what a teacher might ask on -Think about what the author hints might
a test. be important later on.
Why Determine the Importance of
inferring and predicting?
Anything you read contains a lot of information.
You cannot remember everything. By deciding
what is important, you do not have to remember
everything. You can prioritize the information you
need in order to understand.
04 INFER &
PREDICT
<<
-Good readers are like detectives.
-They use clues to determine what
happening in a story.
-This is called INFERENCE!
-Good readers also make educated
guesses about what may happen
later in the story.
-They use the author’s hints to
PREDICT what will most likely
occur.
ASK YOURSELF

WHAT WHAT WHY


a. What isn’t stated that I have b. What do I predict will c. Why do I think so?
figured out? happen?

REMEMBER: KNOWLEDGE + TEXT = INFERENCE


05 VISUALIZE
-Picture in your mind the images the
author creates with his/her words.
-Pay close attention to sensory details. For
example, if you were there, what would
you SEE, HEAR, SMELL, TASTE,
TOUCH, FEEL?
WHY VISUALIZE?
- If you do not picture the events of the story, you
will get bored.
-The author’s job is to paint pictures in the reader’s
mind. The reader’s job is to visualize what the author
describes.
06
SYNTHESIZE
Synthesize is a fancy way of saying that you must bring everything
together in the end. In other words, what is the meaning of what you are
reading?
ASK YOURSELF

WHAT WHAT
DOES IT ALL ARE THE LESSONS I
MEAN? ARE THERE SHOULD LEARN?
QUESTIONS STILL
LEFT
WHAT UNANSWERED? WHAT
IS THE BIG IDEA? DO I THINK ABOUT
THIS BOOK?
07
USE FIX UP
STRATEGIES
Make sure you understand what you are reading. When you run into trouble,
(you just do not get it), use little correction strategies to help you figure out what
went wrong. We call these methods FIX UP STRATEGIES.
Here are some examples
of fix Up Strategies
1-2 3
RE-READ & UNDERLINE USE A DICTIONARY

5 4
ASK FOR HELP READ ALOUD
WHY USE
STRATEGIES?
-Strategies create a plan of attack. Then
you can solve any reading problems
yourself.
-Strategies help you learn HOW to
understand. If you know HOW to
understand, then you are more likely TO
understand.
