  12. Let’s Practice… Reading Strategy Option 1: (Primary grades without multiple paragraphs will skip R and L) UNRAAVEL U - Underline the Title (Clues can sometimes be found in the title.) N - Now Predict (What might the story be about based on the title?) R - Run through and Number the Paragraphs A - Are You READING the Questions? (Reading questions before hand can help you recognize information while reading the story.) A - Are the IMPORTANT Words Circled? (Circling important or unfamiliar words in the questions and the story can help identify information and answers.) V - Venture through and Read (Read the story slowly and carefully.) E - Eliminate Obviously Wrong Answers L - Let's Answer Questions and Write Paragraph Number Where Answer is Found (This shows the teacher that you do in fact know where the answer came from.) So "UNRAAVEL" a good story today!
