COMPREHENSION
STRATEGY FOCUS
The
strategy mentioned below was the focus for last week.
Questioning is when readers ask questions before,
during and after reading to clarify meaning, make predictions, and identify
what is important.
Some
examples of questions are:
BEFORE
READING
1.
What do I already know?
2.
What would I like to know?
3.
I wonder if…?
DURING READING
1.
Does this make sense?
2.
Hmm, I wonder…?
3.
I think… because…
4.
I still need answers to the question…
AFTER READING
1.
Why did the author write this?
2.
What do I know now that I didn’t know
before I read this?
3.
If I had to tell someone about what I
just read, what would I say?

week we will be reviewing our learning of the first 6 weeks.
