  1. Reading Strategies • What do you do when you are stuck?

  2. Reading Strategies Toolbox • Predicting • Visualize • Ask a question • Retell • Make connections • Make an inference

  3. Fix Up Strategy Practice

  4. Predicting • Make a guess about what would logically happen next.

  5. Predicting • James again checked the position of his pack and harness for what seemed like the millionth time. As the side door opened, the blast of air blew him backward. The butterflies in his stomach would not subside. Closing his eyes he quickly leaped out the door.

  6. Predicting • If looks could kill Tina’s boyfriend Matt would have died a quick and painful death. Nothing Matt could say or do would erase the pain and hurt that he had caused.

  7. Visualize • See the characters, the setting, etc. in your mind’s eye. There should be a movie playing in your head.

  8. Visualize • Stunned was the only word that could describe Brady’s face as he stared at what was parked in the driveway. The glinting chrome bumper and rims seemed to hold his eyes transfixed. He stumbled toward the vehicle of his dreams and slowly ran his fingers over the smooth, meticulous red paint job. Slumping into the leather interior, Brady glanced in the rear view mirror to see his Dad holding a set of keys tied with a bright red ribbon.

  9. Visualize • The rails seemed to creak and groan beneath us as the line of cars was thrust forward toward the clouds. As we reached the peak, I looked out at the panorama far below. Suddenly we lurched downward seeming out of control. In a split second my stomach crawled up my throat which was filled with bile. I turned to Cindy to speak as we finished our descent, but what ended coming up and out was a violent version of the cheeseburgers we had for lunch.

  10. Ask a question???

  11. Ask a question • In a fit of rage Celia grabbed her only daughter by the hair and threw her into the door.

  12. Ask a question • Aaron listened carefully. The house was quiet. Everyone was still sleeping. He silently cracked open the window and slipped outside.

  13. Retell in your own words • Stop and review with yourself what has happened so far in the text.

  14. Retell • Troy was walking on the edge so to speak. His recent bad conduct had infuriated his mother and had alienated him from his former friends. Currently, he associated with a group of ruffians and engaged in activities that endangered both his health and his mind.

  15. Retell • “Mrs. Jacobs, please send Treena to the office immediately!” thundered the principal over the intercom. Treenajumped from her desk and quickly made her way down to the office. Once there, the principal had the video camera ready. Treena gulped as he forced her to watch the footage of the noon hour water balloon attack led by her. She turned and stared at the phone in his hand. “I’m sure your mom would love to hear about some of your extra-curricular activities here at Millside.”

  16. Make Connections • Link the text to something in your own life-- maybe something you or a friend has experienced. Connect it to something you have read or something you have seen on T.V. • Text to Self, Text to World, Text to Text

  17. Make Connections • Amy stared blankly at the numbers before her. None of it made sense. A wave of panic swept over her. This was the final exam and if she failed she would not be going on to high school with her friends. She had to think!!!

  18. Make connections • Tim adjusted his backpack as he took a deep breath and headed through the main doors of the school. He entered his first period class hoping to slip in unnoticed. “Well look class this must be the new student I’ve heard so much about,” proclaimed Miss Jensen. Flushing shades of red Tim gulped as 25 pairs of eyes turned and fixated on him.

  19. Make an inference

  20. Make an inference • Betty averted her eyes from the group coming down the hallway. She quickly found her regular corner in the school, sat down, and pulled a reading book out of her back pack. She sighed as she overhead the many conversations about Amy’s big party that night.

  21. Make an inference • Every morning father poured over the want ads then spent the day wandering the streets of the city.

  22. Make an inference • Mary was eagerly anticipating her university acceptance letter. She decided to put it out of her mind for a while. She needed to focus on her math homework. She had failed the last four quizzes. • 1`
