4.4 Stopping By Woods On a Snowy Evening

Reading Process

Remember, good readers are willing to reread text to dig for evidence. They are willing to do close reading.

1. The first time is often for the "gist" - the big picture, main idea, basic storyline.

2. The second time is often to master the rhythm and rhyme, as well as beginning to build understanding.

3. The third (or beyond) is to delve deeply into understanding the vocabulary and text, and to finding evidence to support ideas and respond to questions.
