SET A PURPOSE Know why you are reading. Are you reading for information, enjoyment, or to understand a process?

USE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Jot down what you already know about the topic. Use these notes to help you make sense of what you read.

PREDICT Guess what will happen next. Look for details in the selection that serve as clues.

VISUALIZE Picture the scene in your mind. Use descriptions of setting, characters, and events.

MONITOR Check your understanding as you read. Question what is happening and why. Clarify what is unclear to you by rereading, asking for help,and/or summarizing what was read.
