Reading Strategies—Bringing It All Together As We Finish the Term

1.      "What are some skills, thought processes, or strategies you use when reading print materials, such as your textbook, a magazine article, or a newspaper article?"

2.     "How do you go about making sense of what you read from a book, a magazine, or a newspaper?"

Reading Strategies—Pulling It All Together

1.      Grab a copy of the article I’m going to read aloud to you:  “How a Deadly Snake’s Venom Could Mean Pain Relief”.

2.     I need one student to act as the scribe, while the rest of you follow along as I read.

3.     While I read, I’ll model my thoughts as I’m reading, and the scribe will record my thoughts on the Reading Think-Aloud Sheet.

4.     I’m going to go more slowly than I would if I was reading this on my own, so I can make my thinking clear.

5.     Scribe, I’m going to make a variety of comments.  Record the general ideas in each statement I make or question I ask.

6.    After I model the think-aloud, we’ll work as a class to label the skills and thought processes I used.  Refer to your Reading Strategies List for labeling.

Vocabulary

1.      Take the Vocab Final.

2.     Since this is a test, please sit in your assigned seat for the rest of class.

3.     And don’t talk during the test—or I have to give you a zero.

4.     Please put it in the drawer when you finish, then READ AND RELAX!  J
