READER IN ME
Literacy Weaknesses: Read at moderate rate; however, if book is boring, takes a long time to complete what I’m reading. Unable to concentrate with noise distractions when reading. Literacy Strengths: Connecting to text Visualizing Scaffolding When tackling difficult text, I reread, think, reflect, reread, visualize, & use resources—dictionary, Google images, other text.
STRATEGIES USED TO CHOOSE BOOK & READING MATERIALS Look at front & back cover Preview by randomly reading two pages: o Beginning o Middle o End Good Reads Review o Scholastic book clubs o Colleagues, Media Center Specialist, Public Librarians, Literacy Coach, Radio, Book Talks, Students, Favorite Authors’ Webpages, Internet, Book Trailers, etc.
