Predicting
• What does the title mean?• What do the pictures or illustrations
mean?• What is the text about?• Where does it take place?• Who are the characters?• What do you already know about the
topic?• How will the story end?
Visualizing IdeasDrawing Pictures
Reading is seeing!• Visualize ideas

• Sounds, colors, textures, smells
• Drawing Pictures/Symbols • Identify topic, main characters, themes• Compare and contrast main idea• *Must be age and level appropriate
Skipping Unknown Words• Make list of unknown words/expressions
• Use surrounding words for clues• Use context--What words might make
sense?• Categorize the words, .e.g., nouns,
adjectives, verbs, etc. • Use of synonyms to show similarities• Use antonyms to show comparisons
Reading Rate / Reread
• Encourage students to slow down• The fastest reader is
not always the “best” reader
• Encourage students to reread difficult sections
Read Aloud / Think Aloud
• Teacher models:• Reading pace• Pronunciation• Intonation• Reactions during reading:
• “I wonder what that means?” “Why is it important?”
• “I wonder why that happened?”• “I wonder what will happen next?”
