    3. RECIPROCAL TEACHING

    5. Reciprocal teaching can be used in any story or passage. The teacher and the students take turns assuming the role of teacher in leading this dialogue.

    6. Introduction to Predicting What does it mean to predict? When you make predictions, you take an educated guess about you believe will happen in the story based on the title and the pictures that appear, anticipate what the selection can be about.

    7. MAKING PREDICTIONS Good readers make predictions while they read an article, a book chapter, or story. Before you begin to read the selection, you need: Look a the main title Scan the pages to read the major headings Look at the illustrations Based on these clues: Predict what the article or story is going to be about Now start reading the selection and Confirm and/or reject your predictions Continue reading and anticipate (make a guess on) what the author is going to talk about next or what is going to happen next based on your prior knowledge

    8. PREDICTING CARD *I can look at the title and all the visual clues on the page. What do I think we will be reading about? *Thinking about what I have read and discussed, what do I think might happen next? I wonder... I predict...

    10. Introduction to Clarifying What do you do when you come across a word or phrase you don’t know? What do you do when you don’t understand what the author is trying to tell us in the text? As good readers, we need to deal with difficulties in the text. What can we do?

    11. CLARIFYING CARD *One of the words I wasn’t sure about was... *I don’t know what a word means *I can’t follow the text *I can’t really understand… *A question I have is… *What other words do I know that I can use in place of...? *This is confusing to me. I need to ________(strategy) to try to figure out this word.

    12. How to Clarify Hard Parts Sometimes in your reading, you will run into words, phrases, sentences or ideas that you don’t understand. When this happens, Stop and clear up words, phrases, ideas that are difficult to understand. Reread the phrase or sentence carefully and try to understand it. Try to figure out the meaning through context clues. ( synonyms or antonyms, root words, prefixes or suffixes) Look for definitions in context (These may be between commas that follow unfamiliar words, in parenthesis, or after a dash). Keep reading and try to get a general idea. Use a dictionary to look up the meaning. (As a last resort)

    13. Introduction to Visualization Good readers visualize as they read. Sometimes, you stop and make a mental picture so that you can comprehend what the author is saying.

    14. VISUALIZATION When you visualize, you Form pictures in your minds Think about what comes to your mind while you read Imagine what the people, places and objects described by the author look like. Imagine the actions and events in you mind’s eye. Use mental pictures of the story to draw what they are thinking about (settings, scenes, actions, characters, important moments) Create images in your head to understand what is happening.

    15. VISUALIZATION CARD Visualize a Picture in your Mind When I read this, I imagine that … As I read, in my mind I see…

    17. Introduction to Questioning Good readers ask themselves questions about what they have just read. Reread the paragraph, section or passage for a better understanding Ask questions to see if they really understand what they have read. Ask questions to identify what is important to remember in the story or passage Ask questions to promote a discussion about the paragraph, section or passage. Good questions should include words like “who”, ”where”, “when”, “why”, and “what”.

    19. Introduction to Summarizing When you tell someone about a movie, you don’t describe the entire movie scene by scene. Instead, you shorten the description to include only the main idea and important details. In other words, you summarize. Good readers point out important ideas and details to make sure they understand what they are reading. While you read, stop after each paragraph or major section of the passage and write one or two complete sentences to summarize the most important ideas that appear in the section.

    20. SUMMARIZING CARD *What does the author want me to remember or learn from this passage? *What is the most important information in this passage? *What kind of “teacher” question can I ask about the main idea? *In my own words, this is about ... *The main point was... *The author wanted me to remember...
