in their book with pencil.

students feedback.

Use prior knowledge to make connections

the topic by asking questions.


 Before reading, they could ask

‘What do I already know about this topic?’


 During reading, they could reflect

‘This part of the text is just like…’


 After reading, they could offer

‘I know more about this topic now..


 Connect pictures and built a story about
topic.

 Selfreading practice

Predict
 Prediction is about anticipation and working out
the actions and ideas coming next. An early reader
can use prediction at each stage of reading.
 Before reading, they could suggest ‘From the
cover, I think this book will be about…’
 During reading, they could predict which word
comes next in a sentence.
 After reading, they could comment on whether
their predictions were correct.
Visualize
 Visualizing combines using your senses
and activating prior knowledge to create a
mental picture. Ask students to create a
“mind movie.” Young readers, especially
with a teacher or parent prompting, can
draw on their senses to imagine smells,
sounds, tastes, and images that go with the
story they are reading – like a show or
movie in their mind.
GAME TIME
Summarize
 Teaching students to recall the main points
or ideas of a story is not easy. First, they
need to be able to put the story in order,
then put it in their own words before they
can articulate a ‘summing up’ of the
author’s main ideas. To start to learn to
summarize, young students can practice:
 Selecting the key words from a paragraph
 Locating the topic sentence (often found at
the start or end of a paragraph)
 Responding to general questions about a
story
 Talking through the story in their own
words.
Teach critical thinking skills
 Critical
thinking gets readers to think
about why an author creates a text in a
particular way (author’s purpose). You can
encourage young readers to ask some of
the following questions to get them
thinking critically about what they are
reading:

 Why did the author write this story?


 How do I feel about this story?
