During Reading
Visualize - Make a movie in your head just like you do when listening to a story.
Question - Think about the story. Ask yourself" who, what, when, where, why, how.
Clarify - Try to understand new words. Figure out difficult words using print strategies.
* Use a finger to point under each word to keep track of where you are reading.
* Use beginning sounds to figure out words.
* Use ending sounds to figure out words.
* Use pictures on the page to help figure out a word.
* Use word chunks (a group of letters in a pattern, like _ack, _ight).
* Look for a smaller word within the word.
* Read to the end of the sentence. Sometimes the word that makes sense pops right up!
* Reread the sentence or passage to increase understanding.
Make predictions - What happens next? What clues in the story make you think it might happen?
Make connections -
* What other story is like this one? (Text to Text Connection)
* Have you felt the same way as a character in the story? Did something similar happen to you?
(Text to Self Connection)
* Does the story help you think about something in real life not directly connected to you?
(Text to World Connection)
