Reading STAAR Strategies

Be ready for Cause & Effect Predictions Drawing Conclusions Fact & Opinion Theme Parts of a book and how to use them (index, table of contents, glossary) Supporting conclusions with examples from the text. Using dictionary (guide words) What are headings and why are they there What is the meaning of a word (use context clues, try the word you choose in place of the word) Synonyms (words that are similar) Antonyms (words that are the opposite)

Underline the title (it usually tells you what it is all about) Think about why the author wrote it Is it a newspaper, magazine, poem, journal…? Read everything and look at pictures, maps, charts, tables (why did the author include these things?) Write notes If it asks for a summary, remember beginning, middle and end (make sure it is what it is all about)
