What makes a good reader? Answer this question in your journal. Think of five descriptions that make a reader a “good” reader.
A good reader... reads every day. reads in their free time. reads many books, magazines, and newspapers. studies all the time. sets good goals. prepares the reading environment to learn. finds a good place and time to read. writes questions about the text (what, where, when, why). is interested in what they're reading. has a critical sense. looks at pictures and titles before reading. learns about the author. learns about the context. talks about what they read.
A good reader... earns the meaning of new vocabulary. uses a dictionary to learn unknown words. has patience. underlines texts as they read. enjoys reading makes personal conclusions about the book. learns prefixes, suffixes, and word roots. analyzes what they read. feels the author's feelings and writes about them.
A good reader... doesn't use a dictionary. First, they guess the meaning of words from context. finds the main idea. reads everyday. learns new words when reading. reads many kinds of books. reads interesting books. is motivated. practices reading faster. doesn't translate into their native language while reading. likes to read.
