Before I Read:

  1. Read assignment instructions. Re-state in my own words and picture what I need to do
  2. Review any related materials from class (including the outline, vocabulary, background info)
  3. Read the assignment questions

While I Read:

  1. Stop & summarize the main idea after reading each page or paragraph
  2. Create a picture (or movie) in my mind of the story
  3. Highlight and/or jot notes of what I need to remember: main idea, key vocabulary or details, info related to the questions

After I Read (if No Questions):

  1. Summarize the main idea and key details; Draw a picture if it helps
  2. Think about how the topic/story connects to what we are learning in class
  3. Note any questions or comments I want to discuss with my teacher

Answering The Questions:

  1. Re-state the question in my own words
  2. Return to my notes in the reading that relate to the question. Re-read the section if needed
