  1. READING STRATEGIES DEFINITION A reading strategy is a technique to help you ACTIVELY read the literature we study.

  2. PREDICTING • Try to figure out what will happen next or what motivates a character. • Predicting also includes inferences, or logical guesses based on information in the text, common sense, or reading between the lines. • Predicting helps you slow down and think about what you are reading as you read.

  3. VISUALIZING • Helps you understand what’s happening with characters, events, and the setting. • Look for use of figurative language and “showing” details.

  4. CONNECTING • Think of similarities between the descriptions in the reading selection and what you have personally experienced, heard about, and/or read about before.

  5. QUESTIONING • Search for reasons behind events and characters’ feelings as you read. • Questioning focuses your concentration and keeps you alert to important changes. • ASK HOW? WHERE? WHEN? WHY? WHAT?

  6. CLARIFYING • Pausing after a page or two to review what you understand. • Expect to have your understanding change and develop as you read on. Clarifying can signal when you’re confused and need to reread a passage. • Watch for answers to questions you had earlier.

  7. EVALUATING • Form opinions about what you’ve read both as you read and after you’ve finished. • Develop your own ideas about characters and events and find passages from the selection to support your opinions.
