Strategy Practice

1. Get a copy of the strategies you can use when you read to UNDERSTAND/COMPREHEND more, and to REMEMBER/RECALL more effectively.
2. These strategies can be done in your head, or they can be done as annotations (or a mixture of both).
3. Today, we’re going to practice them as annotations while I do a read-aloud.
4. Think back to Eastern Hem--do you remember watching a video about foot-binding?  If so, what do you remember?
5. Today as I read, I’m going to stop, and I’m going to ask you to annotate using one of your reading strategies.  This will be a slow process today, but when you do it on your own, it will go more quickly.  Today is the training-wheels version.
