Reading Strategies

Good readers form MENTAL PICTURES about what they read when they use the strategy of

• making connections.

• visualizing.

• asking questions.

• making inferences.

Good readers ask questions

• to clarify meaning.

• to understand the characters and events better.

• to understand why the author wrote the piece/ the author's intent.

• All of the above are reasons for asking questions.

Which type of questions help you analyze the story to find deeper meaning?

• Thick questions that answer why and how.

• Thin questions that answer who, what, where, and when.

When we use clues from the story to help us make an EDUCATED GUESS, we are

• visualizing.

• making inferences.

• making predictions.

• making connections.

Check the correct box of the connection being described:

I read a book last year that reminded me of the book, "The Stranger" that we read in class!

• text to text connection

• text to self connection

• text to world connection.

Check the box that describes the kind of connection being described: "If I Were in Charge of the World" reminds me of me! I always think I have too many rules to follow in my house, and I fight a lot with my sister!

• text to text connection

• text to self connection

• text to world connection

Check the box that describes the kind of connection being described: I watched a movie that had characters in it just like "The Pain and the Great One", the book about the brother and sister told from each of their points of view. The narrator even switched back and forth like in that book!

• text to self connection

• text to text connection

• text to world connection

Check the box that describes the kind of connection being described: In The Secret Garden, Mary's anger came from the loneliness she felt. In the world, many people suffer from feeling loneliness and loss.

• text to self connection

• text to text connection

• text to world connection

The difference between making a prediction and an inference is that in making a prediction, you are

• drawing a conclusion based on what is currently happening.

• making a guess about a future happening.

When we make an inference, we are using evidence from the story in order to

• make a prediction about a future event.

• visualize something.

• draw a conclusion about what is going on in the story.

• make meaningful connection.
