1.3 Strategies During Reading

Ask Questions

Questions help you stay interested and keep you focused. Here are some examples:

If you are reading a textbook or informational text, ask yourself what questions you think the teacher would ask about what you are reading. Then see if you can find the answers. You can also read assignments BEFORE doing a lesson so you know exactly what to look for!

If you are reading a short story or book, ask yourself questions while you read. Do I like the main character? Do I like what is happening to the character so far? What do I think the character should do? How is the setting important? What will happen next?
