WHAT DO GOOD READERS DO?
Before Reading:
have goals in mind and know their purpose for reading
preview text—title, pictures, headings, drawings
reflect (and often share) what they know about the topic
make predictions about the text
use various strategies that suit the text (fiction, non- fiction)
may decide to read all, some, or none of the text
During Reading:
continue to reflect on the text, anticipate, and make predictions
confirm or correct predictions
monitor comprehension
use fix-up strategies when comprehension breaks down
read selectively by deciding what to read carefully, quickly, what not to read, and what to reread
use text structures and text features to support meaning
generate questions about text
react intellectually and emotionally to text (reader response)
After Reading:
decide if goals were achieved
reflect on how text matched or did not match predictions
compare characters, incidents, content (nonfiction) to self, real life, and other books
summarize major idea(s)
may seek additional information
react to text intellectually and/or emotionally (reader response)
