  14. HOW TO MAKE READING TIME EFFECTIVE FIRST, ASK THE STUDENT TO PREDICT WHAT THEY THINK THE BOOK IS ABOUT • REMIND THEM THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER • EXPLAIN THAT MAKING PREDICTIONS IS LIKE BEING A DETECTIVE FINDING CLUES THEN, HELP THEM LOOK FOR CLUES THE AUTHOR LEAVES FOR THE READER • LOOK AT THE BOOK TITLE, ILLUSTRATIONS ON THE FRONT COVER, PICTURES INSIDE THE BOOK THIS SKILL PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH… • A REASON TO READ, IMPROVED COMPREHENSION, AND HELP THEM TO BEGIN TO DEVELOP A LOVE FOR READING

  15. TOOLS FOR SUCCESS PREVIEW • BEFORE YOU TACKLE ANY READING, DISCUSS WHAT YOU SEE IN THE BOOK, PREDICTIONS, AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE STUDENT MAY HAVE ABOUT THE BOOK READ • SET REALISTIC GOALS FOR HOW LONG AND HOW MANY PAGES YOU’LL BE ABLE TO READ DURING THE ALLOTTED TIME RECALL • HAVE THE STUDENT RECALL AND RECITE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT WAS READ • HAVE THE STUDENT SUMMARIZE THE STORY IN THEIR OWN WORDS
