What do "good readers" do?
Predict/Infer-
Good readers find out what is going to happen next. They figure out things that aren't there.
Here's how to use the Predict/Infer Strategy:
1. Think about the title, the illustrations, and what you have read so far.
2. Tell what you think will happen next-or what you think you will learn. Thinking about what you already know about the subject may help.
3. Try to figure out things the author does not say directly.
Phonics/Decoding:
Good readers sound out words. They cover part of the word to help them see the base word. Use this strategy during reading when you come across a word you don't know.
Here's how to use the Phonics/Decoding Strategy:
1. Look carefully at the word.
2. Look for word parts that you know and think about the sounds for the letters.
3. Blend the sound to read the word.
4. Ask yourself: Is this a word you know?
5. If not, ask yourself. What else can I try?
