How to Read Nonfiction Reading Strategies: Predict- Make educated guess about what your are reading. Preview by looking at title, skimming the text, examining photographs, illustrations, charts, and other graphics. Make predictions before beginning to read and also as you read. Connect- Make connections with what you already know and with your own life Questions- Question anything you do not understand.

More Reading Strategies Visualize- use details the writer gives you to form mental pictures of people, places, and objects. Evaluate- Make judgments about what you read. Is this a statement or a fact? Do I agree or disagree with this author? Review- Pause often to think about what you have read. Respond- React to what you have read.
