Good Readers

Good readers use the reading comprehension strategies as they read. You have heard me say this several times already and we have completed only the first month of school. The reading comprehension stratgies include
  • making connections
  • asking questions
  • visualizing
  • predicting
  • inferring
  • activating your prior knowledge
  • monitoring your comprehension
  • determining what's important
  • syntheszing

Please answer the following as you comment today . . .

1. Describe which strategy is the easiest for you and why.

2. Describe which stragtey is the hardest for you and why.

3. What are you looking forward to this year in reading?

The easiest thing to do is Asking questions because I can ask any thing that I have read !!!!!! The hardest thing for me to vizualize because I can not get into the characters place in a story. I would love to read all of the chicken soup books this year!!!!!!!

the one thats the hardest for me would be the making connections.The easyest one for me would be the visualizing.And what i am looking forword to this year in reading is get a higher sri grade than what i got

Predicting is the easiest strategy for me because its just easy to think of something that will happen leter on from thinking about what you've already read.

Asking questions is the hardest strategy for me because I just assume something instead of asking if it makes sense.

I's looking forward to being a better reader and making my reading score higher.

The stratgie I use is read the first 2 or 3 pages and if that book intrest me then I get a new book. The hardest stratgie for me is reading very fast. To become a better reader than i am.
