  1. What Do I Do When I Read?

  2. The Seven Steps • Get Your Knowledge Ready • Learn the vocabulary • Read the text ALOUD • Paraphrase the text as you go, each sentence • Say questions the text answers • Summarise the text, paragraph by paragraph • Review the text and what you have learnt

  3. Getting your Knowledge Ready • Link what you know with what’s in the text • Form an idea of the topic from the title and pictures • Ask yourself what do you know about the topic already? • Put what you know into sentences • Predict the questions the text will answer

  4. Vocabulary • Select 5 to 10 key concept words • Learn to read, write and say those words • Learn how to read those types of words • Learn the meanings of unfamiliar words and learn new words • Spell the words • Use the Meaning Making Machine

  5. The Meaning Making Machine • Note the meaning features that might go with the new word, is it like other words you know? • Try to get a picture of what the word is • Guess at what the word might mean • Check your understanding by reading the word in the text again • Change your definition if you need to • Check your impression of the word with what the dictionary says

  6. Reading Aloud • Helps to get the text into a set of images as you read • Read over the words before you read them aloud • Reading aloud helps you to remember what you’ve read • Try to read fluently

  7. Paraphrasing Sentences • Do the following after you read a sentence: • Say/retell this in your own words • What does it mean? • Or • What is it saying? • What is another way of saying it? • Say it to someone else in another way • Change as many words as possible and keep the meaning the same

  8. Say Questions the text Answers • After reading a sentence ask yourself: • What does this question answer? • Does this answer a who/what/where/when/why/how question? • Can you make this sentence into a who/what/where/when/why/how question? • What would someone have to ask you if you were to give this sentence as the answer?

  9. Summarise • ASK: What is the main idea in this paragraph? • What is the main question this paragraph answers? • Say in a few words what the paragraph says • Find the topic sentence • Select the key concept words • Link the key words in sentences • Come up with a headline for the text

  10. Review • Read your summary silently and link the new knowledge with what you know • Say what you have learnt, write or record what you have learnt in writing or pictures, etc. • Say the questions that you could now answer • Say how the new information was similar or different to what you already knew • Answer questions • Draw a concept map linking ideas • Do a “Cloze” activity
