READING STRATEGIES and SKILLS

Check for Understanding: This is a comprehension strategy that teaches children to stop frequently and check, or monitor, whether they understand what they are reading. This typically is a quick summary of what they've read, starting with "who" and "what."

Back Up and Reread: Going back and rereading again to understand the meaning of the selection

Cross Checking: Do the pictures and/or words look right? Do they sound right? Do they make sense?

Tune into Interesting Words: Using new vocabulary in speaking and writing

Determine Important Information: Determining important information is finding important ideas. Readers think about which information is important and which is interesting but unimportant.

Determine Author's Purpose: The author's purpose is the reason for writing. Is the writer writing to entertain, persuade, or inform?

Making Inferences: Authors do not write everything. Readers must also use what they know to figure things out. Making inferences helps readers understand the meaning of a selection.

Recall and Retell: When readers recall, they think about what they have read. When they retell, they tell the information in their own words.

Picture Clues: Using picture clues when we read is a vocabulary strategy. When you do not know the meaning of a word, you can look at photographs or illustrations for clues about the word.

Making Predictions: Making a prediction means making a good guess about text. Readers use what they have read and know to make predictions about what they will read.

Identifying Descriptive Language: Descriptive language helps readers imagine the ideas and details in a text. It helps readers understand how something looks, sounds, feels, smells, or tastes.

Identify Details and Facts: Details and facts are bits of information that tell about important ideas.
