39. Review & Practice “Fix-Up” Strategies During the next four weeks you will read novels during IDR (Independent Daily Reading). Always remember to check your comprehension as you are reading (“Thinking About My Reading” chart). Earlier we learned a couple of “fix-up strategies, or tools to use when we don’t understand what we have read. What are those strategies called?

40. IDR – Independent Daily Reading Instructions As you read today, pause occasionally and ask yourself – “Do I understand what I am reading?” If you don’t understand, mark the place in the text with a self-stick note and try one of the strategies we learned today. I’ll check with you at the end of IDR to see how you used “fix-up” strategies.

41. IDR – Independent Daily Reading Don’t understand? Mark your text and use a strategy! Was there any part of your reading that you did not understand today? Tell us about it. What “fix-up” strategy did you try? What happened when you (reread/read ahead)?
