Reading Strategies
- Predicting: What do you think will happen next in the story?
- Connecting: Connect what you are reading to something in your life, another book, or things in the world
- Visualizing: As you are reading, what can you "see," "hear," "feel," "smell," and/or "taste?"
- Inferring: Developing opinions, answers, or ideas while you are reading. This is based upon the story and your prior knowledge about such topics.
- Questioning: As you are reading, ask yourself questions about the story.
- Clarifying: If you do not understand or remember something, go back and reread.
- Summarizing: What is the main idea of the story?
