Steps to Good Reading
by Nancy Baim
October 23, 2008
1. Before you read:
Think: What is the book going to be about?
Predict: What might happen?
Connect: What do you already know about the topic?
2. While you are reading:
Ask: Does what you are reading make sense?
Ask: Do you understand the meanings of all the words?
Ask: Are you creating pictures in your mind?
3. After you read:
Review: See if your predictions were correct?
Evaluate: Did you learn something interesting or new?
Retell: Share the story or the information in a summary.
