 WHAT IS READING  Reading is the active process of understanding print and graphics text.  Reading is a thinking process.  Effective readers know that when they read, what they read is supposed to make sense.  They monitor their understanding, and they lose the meaning of what they are reading, they often unconsciously select and use a reading strategy that will help them reconnect with the meaning of the text such as rereading or asking question.  Reading skills and strategies can be taught explicitly while students are learning subject-specific content through authentic reading tasks.

 BEFORE READING  Set a Purpose for Reading -Think if we will be reading to find out what happens in a story or to learn specific information.  Preview the Text -Look at the title,pictures,captions under picture,headings,bold-faced print and other graphics.  Activate Background Knowledge -Think about what we already know about the content of what we will read.  Predict -Think what might happen in the story,what words might be used,or what information the text might contain.

 DURING READING  Cross-check -Check one cue with another.Ask ourself,”Does this word look right,sound right, and make sense?”.  Reread -When problem occur,return to the beginning of a sentence or paragraph and read it.  Predict and Confirm -Ask ourself,”What do I expect to see?”,”What do I think will happen next?”,”Did that make sense?” or “Am I finding the right answers to my questions about the topic?”.  Skip,Read On,Go Back -Sometimes we can skip unfamiliar word and read to the end of the sentence or paragraph,thinking about what would make sense.Then,using the context,go back and reread to try to determinethe word.

 AFTER READING  Retell and Summarize -Tell someone or write what happened in the story,including characters,plot and important events.If we read non fiction piece,revie what information was presented.  Use a Graphic Organizer -Use a story map,biography wheel,venn diagram, or other way to show what was included in what we read.  Draw Conclusions -Think about what predictions we made before and during read.Look back and think about what we have read.Consider how the information reads relates to what we already knew about the topic.  Reread -Reread the text or a section of the text to help we understand it better.  Discuss and Respond -Talk with someone about what we have read.Ask each other questions.Look at the book to defend our opinions  Write to Support Understanding -Writeabout what we have read,telling it made we think of or what we learned.

 Getting Ready to Read: Previewing a Text  Most informational texts use a variety of visual, graphic and text features to organize information,highlight important ideas, illustrate key concepts, and provide additional information.  Features may include headings, subheadings, table of contents, index, glossary, preface, paragraphs separated by spacing, bulleted lists, sidebars, footnotes, illustrations, pictures, diagrams, charts,graphs, captions, italicized words or passages, boldface words or sections, colour, and symbols.

 Getting Ready to Read: Analyzing the Features of a Text  There’s more to a good book or Website than the words. A well- designed textbook uses a variety of graphical and text features to organize the main ideas, illustrate key concepts, highlight important details, and point to supporting information.  When features recur in predictable patterns, they help the reader to find information and make connections.  Readers who understand how to use these features spend less time unlocking the text, and have more energy to concentrate on the content.  In this strategy, students go beyond previewing to examine and analyze a textbook and determine how the features will help them to find and use the information for learning.  You can use the same strategy to deconstruct other types of text – in magazines, e-zines, newspapers, e-learning modules, and more.

 Engaging in Reading: Visualizing  Visualizing text is a crucial skill for students because if they can get the picture, often they’ve got the concept.  When students don’t get those pictures in their heads, the teacher may need to think aloud and talk them through the ideas in the text, explaining the pictures that come to mind.  Visualization can help students to focus, remember, and apply their learning in new and creative situations.  It is an invaluable skill in subjects such as Math, Science, and Design & Technology, where understanding spatial relationships can be a key to solving complex problems.

: Making Notes  Purpose  Provide strategies for remembering what one reads.  Provide a tool for summarizing information and ideas, making connections, and seeing patterns and trends in course-related materials
