Smiled, because I know this book well. In other words, I did not strategize for this passage, but otherwise you would use the title to anticipate what the text may be about.

Going back and rereading phrases that I might have gotten mixed up the first time to make sure I am comprehending the entire passage.

Use supporting clues such as title and book cover image to anticipate the coming text.

Read for meaning-->not just fly through and decode words, but stop and consider the content of what they're reading.

Make notes (mental or physical) of places to return to in the text

Good readers pause during reading to assess what they have read and determine if they need to go back.

sammiemar14_1 — 2025-07-30 21:42:31 UTC

Good readers will highlight words they think have important meaning to the passage

Struggling readers tell themselves that they can't read, get frustrated and give up.

2025-07-30 21:43:24 UTC

Try to read as quickly as possible and not pay attention to meaning

Struggle with decoding individual words to the detriment of comprehension

They do more than just look at the words. They try to understand what it is describing. Sometimes there is a deeper meaning than what just the words say.

Race through the passage without reading for connection and meaning. They may also not go back and shut down if the text is too complex for them the first time through.

Struggling readers might ask a peer what something means when they are too apprehensive to ask a teacher.

Utilize context clues to help decipher unknown words. Sounding out phonics can be time consuming, and may be bypassed due to time constraints.

Get frustrated when there are words the reader may not understand.
