2. The Reading Process BEFORE
*Why will I read? (compare/contrast, summarize, find evidence, Need to find name/ date, to ask questions, to know how a cell is dissected)
Understand your task
Set a purpose for reading
Preview the text
Plan a reading strategy
*Look over the book before you read (the book cover, the table of contents, headings, the index, graphs, charts, photos)
*Choose a reading strategy to match your purpose for reading

3. The Reading Process DURING
*Read with a purpose
(and a pencil)
*Create some personal
connection to the text
*PAUSE & REFLECT
*Ask yourself, “What am I looking for?” or “Why am I reading?” STOP!…Think of your purpose. Ask yourself what you are trying to learn. Say, “When I am finished reading, I will know…” Take notes in the margins of the text
*Make the book personal by
asking questions like, “Have I ever heard of this before?”, “Is there anything surprising?” and “Has this happened to me?”
Thinking Notes
conversations

4. The Reading Process AFTER
*Pause, reflect, and look back
*Reread to find out things you might have missed the first time through
*Remember what you learned
*Stop and think about what you read. Take a moment to ask, “Is there anything confusing?” and “Can I answer the question asked?” “Did I find evidence to support my purpose for reading?”
*Read it AGAIN to understand.
*Talk to others about our reading to clear up confusions, add thinking points, observations
*We remember what we can find and what we talk about, ask about
