“The purpose of reading is understanding.” Reading IS Thinking “The purpose of reading is understanding.”

What is a Reading Response? A Way to Interact with the text It’s made up of 6 basic reading strategies, summarizing, paraphrasing, and Mrs. Brannen’s twist You may hear it called Cornell Notes (or double entry journal) in the future You must keep Reading Responses for any novels you are reading and anytime we do a novel study.

6 Reading Strategies Predict Visualize Connect Question Clarify Evaluate

Predict Try to figure out what will happen next and how the selection might end.

Visualize characters, events, and setting to help you understand what’s happening. Stop and make a mental picture as you read.

Connect Connect personally with what you’re reading. Text to Self What connections can you make between the text and your life? What other places or people could you compare this story/problem to? What current trends/or events are related to this section/problem? Connect personally with what you’re reading. Text to Self Text to Text Text to World

Question Question what happens while you read. Search for reasons behind events and character’s feelings.

Clarify 4 Steps: Look for little words inside big words. Look for base or root words, prefixes, or suffixes. Also, be aware of words that are similar to words in another language. Look for a comma following an unfamiliar word. Sometimes the author will give the definition after the comma. The definition could follow the word “or,” a dash, or be in parentheses. Keep reading to see if you can get a sense of the definition. Look it up if you still don’t know. Stop occasionally to review what you understand. Reread when necessary. NEVER skip over a word you do not know…look it up!!

Evaluate Form opinions about what you read, both while you’re reading and after you’ve finished. Develop your own ideas about characters and events. To evaluate think of the following: entertainment, believability, originality, emotional power

Response/Strategy/Literary Element Page #/Quote Response/Strategy/Literary Element Schatz must have a serious illness. (Prediction) (Maybe draw a picture of a foot at the end of a bed with Papa sitting) or I could close my eyes and see a quilted bedspread pulled up to Schatz’s neck while his father read him Peter Pan. Characterization When I had the flu I felt like I was going to die.(text to self) “Victor” by James Howe—also had character with flu (text to text) (Connect) Who did Papa hunt with? (Question) Did not recognize word---means “to beat” (Clarify) I thought this chapter was depressing. (Evaluate) “…Schatz’s face is white…” (Hemingway 3). “Papa read to his son while sitting on the foot of the bed..” (5). “Schatz was a nine year old, feverish little boy that had a white face, dark circles under his eyes, shivering and looked detached…” “It was just the flu…”(10). “Papa told his son he must hunt…” (12) “Papa bludgeoned the kicking deer with a club” (13). ---end of chapter (16)

The ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY The story/chapter about __________________ begins with _________________, discusses how _____________________, and ends with __________________________.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE You are going to read a passage in your group. Clarifier will write any parts that need to be clarified. Predictor will make guesses about the story and seek the group’s input in deciding what words help a reader make predictions Visualize will draw or write images that come to mind. Questioner will generate at least 2 teacher-like questions (open ended). Summarizer will write a one summary sentence of the paragraph. Connector will relate the text to a personal experience (text to self), current event (text to world, or knowledge of other texts (text to text). Evaluator will assess the text that was read.
