Reading Strategies

Before I read a story, informational text, or poetry, I will read what first?

• I raise my hand

• The number of paragraphs

• The reading

• The question

Why do I read the question first?

• To figure out what numbers to skip and not complete it

• To understand what the question is asking me to find or do within the reading.

• To box and underline words

• To read because I think I am smart

When I annotate the question, I place a box around what?

• I check for grammar

• Academic words

• Big words that I don't know

• The location

What does "to annotate" means?

• To tell the teacher what you have learned.

• To break down the question or reading by noticing something that you don't understand, and "marking words and numbers", so that you can have a clear understanding of the reading.

• To count the number of words that in the reading.

• To say that you have read the reading and tell the teacher that you have completed the work before the timer stops.
