Visualize Describe the images you see as the author describes
them. Use the details in the text to create the “movie in your mind”.
Clarify
STOP & PAY ATTENTION!
Summarize what you just read.
This is a great place to stop & check whether you understand the text
As you continue reading, if you find answers to any questions you may
have had, make a note of them
Question
Ask questions about the text
What are you confused by?
What is motivating the character(s)?
Why are certain things happening?
Predict
Try to figure out what will happen next and how the
book might end.
Then read on and see how accurate your guesses are.
Connect
Connect personally with what you are reading.
Think of similarities between the descriptions in the book and anything you
may have experienced.
Also, connect to anything you may have already read or seen in the media (movies,
news, Facebook, Twitter, magazines, newspapers, the Internet).
Evaluate
Form opinions about what you have read-both while you are reading and after you
have finished.
Develop your own ideas about characters and events.
Make a logical guess or come to a conclusion based on the book.
Reading Log
In your binder there should be a reading log section.
You are EXPECTED to read THREE times a week.
After reading, you will journal your thoughts.
On Fridays, you will respond quickly to what you read and your log will be checked!
