Readying Our Minds to
Read Nonfiction
Lesson #1
![Page 3: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There isn’t ONE way to read
We can get lost in a
book
OR we can sit up and learn
![Page 4: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Think of a specific time when you have been a great fiction reader
What did it look like,sound like,feel like?
![Page 5: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Think of a specific time when you have been a great nonfiction reader.
What did it look like,sound like,feel like?
![Page 6: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nonfiction readers read different things in different ways.
BUT......
All GREAT nonfiction readers read with
POWER
![Page 7: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do we read with
POWER?
You have to Rev up your mind, of course
![Page 8: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rev Up Our MindsJust like on a motorcycle,
we can rev our reading “engines”while standing still
What is the text made to do?
How do the parts of the text go
together?
![Page 9: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
*We read titles and subtitles first
*We preview the photos and diagrams
*We look over chunks of the textAND WE THINK:“This
book is mostly about...”
“This book might start with...”
“This book will tell
me...”
![Page 10: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Let me show you how to preview a nonfiction book by
“revving my engine”
![Page 11: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Did you notice......
Me thinking about the information?
Me clarifying to myself the information that I read/learned?
Me altering my voice when there was an important idea/fact?
![Page 12: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Your TurnYou and a partner will skim the heading
and subheadings of a nonfiction text
1) Pay attention to the big headings and smaller subheadings
2) Use them to answer, “What might this be about?”
3) Ask yourselves, “What do I already know about this topic?” AND “How does knowing that help me anticipated how this text will probably go?”
![Page 13: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Teacher’s Advice
Don’t forget to pause while you are readingand do a self check-in.
Ask yourself,“Does this match my expectations”
![Page 14: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Let’s Get Reading
Mid-Workshop teaching point(s)1) Strong nonfiction readers notice stuff in the text features that others just glance by2) It’s helpful to pay attention to the physical features of the text (more words=greater importance)3) Expectations/predictions will change as your read on
![Page 15: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Did you know that we can“BUZZ”
about nonfiction too?
Point out:what you saw as you scannedHunches you developed in your previewWhether your hunches matched what
you actually read
![Page 16: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Looking for structure within nonfiction text
Lesson #2
![Page 17: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
My college teachers used to give me book after book after book to read in one week
I was a pretty good reader. So no big deal, right?
![Page 18: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WRONG
![Page 19: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
By the next week 1/2 of them hadn’t even been touched
The ones that I had read would kind of be circling in my brain
![Page 20: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I was trying to memorize all I’d read so I could recall it all later in class.
Kind of hard when you are reading 300 pages of EXPOSITORY nonfiction
There are over 200,000 identified
plant species and the list is growing all the time
.
While using energy from sunlight, plants turn carbon dioxide into food in a
process called photosynthesis
Bamboo can be a fast growing plant, some types can grow almost a metre
(3.28 feet) in just one day In the agricultural industry, to ensure crops of food grow well water is often added to soil in the form of irrigation
Tree resin which has been fossilized is known as amber, it
sometimes contains plant material or small animals that were trapped
inside
Plant matter found at the bottom of areas with water
such as swamps can eventually turn into coal due to a process called metamorphosis (changing
form)
![Page 21: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It took me awhile
But I finally figured out some tricks
![Page 22: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Trick #1Read with a pencil
When we come to an end of a chunk of text-or when our
mind is brimful- we can pause and say to ourselves,
‘What did I just read?’
Then we come up with little summaries to help us recollect what we’ve just learned.
![Page 23: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Let me show you how this works
Watch for me:PausingRecallingUsing “boxes and bullets” on my hand
box=main idea bullets=important detailsAnd then we’ll practice it together
![Page 24: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
You and your partner will read the same text as each other, but separately.
Decide on a portion of the book to read.
Rev up your mind by studying text features and imagining how the text will probably go.
Then read, not trying to memorize everything in the text, but looking for the “boxes and bullets”
![Page 25: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Teacher’s Advice
When your mind is full, pause and reflect on what you’ve read, thinking of
“boxes and bullets”
![Page 26: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Let’s Get Reading
Mid-Workshop teaching point(s)1) Look back over the passage you have just read, and list across your hand and fingers the main ideas and the specific points gleaned so far.2) Readers of nonfiction jot notes really quickly.
![Page 27: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SharingTimeGet together with your reading
partner and talk about what you thought were the main ideas and the supporting details of the text
you read.
What if you disagree?Look back over the text and talk through your differences.
Reread and think, ‘Whose ideas seem more right?’
![Page 28: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Lesson #3
![Page 29: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
You and your partner need to have a shared text to read today
![Page 30: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We started this year reading books about characters living in faraway places or imaginary places.
We experienced the magic of coming to know these characters through their stories.
![Page 31: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Yesterday we realizedthat narrative nonfiction can be just as magical.
This type of reading is excitingBUT
it can also be challenging tohold on to all of the information.
![Page 32: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Strategies we learned when reading fiction are still applicable to nonfiction.
For example:When reading fiction,
Sometimes we pause to review what we just read or think
about what will happen next.
![Page 33: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Can you think of other lessons from reading
fiction that we can apply to our nonfiction
reading?
Turn and Talk to your partner
![Page 34: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Do you remember how lists help us when choosing books?
![Page 35: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
We use lists to help usdetermine Just Right Books
Too Hard
*Don’t understand
*Have to read slowly
*Can’t read w/ expression
*Keep getting stuck
*5+ words I can’t say
Just Right
*Get most words right
*Read fast and smooth
*Understand it
*Not confusing
*Read easily with expression
![Page 36: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Let me show you
how to use a list to find a
“just right” nonfiction book
![Page 37: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Teacher’s Advice
Just like we use lists in life to help usremember the things we need to do
We can also use lists to help us remember what we have reada.k.a. “boxes and bullets”
![Page 38: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Let’s Get Reading
Mid-Workshop teaching point(s)1) Readers pause to teach others what we’re learning2) Using “boxes and bullets” as and outline/talking points, not just reading them to our partners
![Page 39: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
My Final Piece of Advice
Decide what’s big enough to write down.
When we try to record every little detail, it gets much harder to
organize our thinking.

Experts are teachers
To teach someone you need to:
*know main idea and supporting details*Use an explaining voice
*Use body language to explain
What’s it take to be an expert on what you read?
![Page 43: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Let me show you how to read in a way
that I’m becoming an expert.
As I read, I’ll be:1) thinking about what this section will be about2) looking for relationships between this topic and what I already know3) looking for main ideas and supports
![Page 44: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Teacher’s Advice
As you read your nonfiction books today, keep in mind that you aren’t just reading them
for yourself; you are also reading for your partner since you will be teaching them later
![Page 47: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

What does this have to do with reading?
![Page 59: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Readers of expository text have to organize what they are learning,
especially when there aren’t subheadings to organize it for you.
![Page 60: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
As we read, we sort the little bitsof information under bigger points or ideas.
It helps to create larger categories to organize the information.
![Page 61: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
There are a couple of tricks you can use to organize the new information we are learning.
1) Read.....stop......step back.....and sort the new learning into “piles”. These become “boxes and bullets.”
2) Find a teaching point, or main idea, that pops out in each section.
![Page 62: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Let me show you how to....
1) Read and sort into piles2) Find the pop-out teaching point

The Weird and Wonderful Octopus
Of all of the strange and wonderful creatures that live in the ocean, one stands out above the rest. It is the amazing octopus, and they can be found in every ocean in the world.
The octopus has a body unlike any other animal. Its body, called the mantle, is soft and shaped like a bag. The octopus can squeeze itself into very small spaces because it no bones in its body. Its eight rubbery arms are attached to its head near its mouth. The octopus’s arms are covered with suckers. These suckers help the octopus grab and taste things. The octopus can see very far distances, but it cannot hear anything at all.

Teacher’s Advice
It helps to organize the information you read.Make little headings (box) in your mind and
read to find the details (bullets) that support it

Talking to Grow Ideas About Nonfiction Texts
Lesson #6
![Page 69: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
What have you learned about reading nonfiction that you especially remember?
![Page 70: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
I want to remind you that readers talk to let texts get through to us, to let texts change our minds.
We talk to grow ideas

What did you notice?How did they use the text to help them?
How did they grow their understanding?
How were they helping each other learn?
HOW WERE THEY CHANGING EACH OTHER?

Teacher’s Advice
As you read, try to be the kind of person who wonders and/or questions.
Observe the stuff that could grow into a big idea later, when you converse with your partner.

Time to have a CONVERSATION
with your partner
Conversations can grow big ideas if you ask ‘Why?’ and ‘How Come?’ questions

How have your conversations with your Reading Partners helping you become
a better nonfiction reader?
Does someone have one they want to tell us about?

Repeat the prompt and elaborate on it
List a couple of big or small points that
we think a text is making and choose
one that interests you
Your partner provides a thought prompt to nudge your thinking TextText

Identifying nonfiction text structures and adjusting reading
Lesson #8
![Page 88: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Yesterday we learned that we sometimes read fiction and non-fiction differently.
We don’t read everything the same way!
![Page 89: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
We don’t read stories the same way we read newspapers
We don’t read a car manual instructions the same way we read a fairy tale.

Readers use different reading eyes for
different text structures
![Page 91: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
When we look at a nonfiction book, we ask ourselves,“Is this a narrative text or a expository text?”
This helps us know which reading strategies to use.
![Page 92: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Narrative nonfiction texts:TRUE STORIES
- We read it like a narrative fiction book!- Tells about a person or
something that happened in history-Allows us to live through an experience
![Page 93: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Expository nonfiction texts:ALL-ABOUT BOOKS
-Gives facts- Gives information about a topic
- Contains text features (table of contents, headings, subheadings, bolded words, glossary, etc.)
![Page 94: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)

Remember that readers notice text structure. Remember the expectations readers can bring to
narrative nonfiction texts.

What do we know about narratives?
Are they considered nonfiction?
![Page 105: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Why do authors writenarrative nonfiction?
Shape information with a story
To avoid a hodgpodge of junky
details
Create a unifying idea
Convey ideas
![Page 106: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
“To write a good narrative, you must be able to answer the
question:what is the story about?”
“To write a true story, there needs to be a unifying
idea, a central concept.”
Two of our country’s greatest nonfiction writers are Mark Kramer and Wendy Call
![Page 107: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
David Halberstam wrote Firehouse
A story about the days before,
during, and after the 9/11 tragedy
“I just couldn’t write everything that happened to the people in the firehouse. One ate pizza, another
fed the dog, one answered the phone. I couldn’t tell it all.”
“Twelve men from this one firehouse died that day. I
thought I could measure some of the pain inflicted on the city by looking at that one firehouse.”
![Page 108: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
What can we learn from these authors?
There’s no story until you know the overall concept you want your readers to grasp.
You must be able to point to something larger.

What is the message being conveyed?
Keep in mind all of the techniques we used in our personal narratives.
Remember, everything an author does is ON PURPOSE!

“I must find the lost tomb.”
Howard Carter had been saying the same thing for year. Now it was 1922, the fifth year he had spent digging through sand and rocks in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. He was searching for a tomb that no grave robbers had ever found-the tomb of Tutankhamen, the boy pharaoh.
Carter scoffed when he was warned of the curse: “Death comes on wings to he who enters the tomb of a pharaoh.”
Each day, his men worked in the sweltering heat and dust. They seemed to be getting nowhere. Then one morning, as they dug in soft rubble, a shovel clanged...
When Carter arrived, he was met by an excited hush. The men had found a stone step. Another 15 steps were quickly uncovered. Could this be Tutankhamen’s tomb?
Carter was the first to look. What he saw left him speechless. Later, he told people that he had seen “strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold....”
When Carter arrived home that night, his servants were wailing and shouting.
![Page 111: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
“What’s wrong?” Carter demanded above the din.
“You have opened the tomb,” wept a servant. “We are cursed!” He told Carter that a Cobra had swallowed Carter’s pet canary at the exact moment the tomb was opened. Cobras were a symbol of royalty in ancient Egypt. They were said to spit fire at a pharaoh’s enemies.
Carter was not worried. The next day he began to clear the first room of the tomb.
More than a mile of cotton wadding was used to wrap up the items. Carter’s team packed games, clothing, pottery, musical instruments, and statues. Most of these were sent to Cairo, Egypt’s capital, by boat. The more valuable artifacts went on a train accompanied by armed guards.
Finally, the men were ready to unseal the third door. Slowly and carefully, Carter started chipping away the rocks and plaster.
Then he stopped. Before him was a wall of solid gold! It was the front of a huge, golden shrine. Carter was astonished. He knew this was the greatest ancient Egyptian find ever.
Inside the golden shrine were three more shrines. And inside the last one was a sarcophagus-a stone coffin. But that was not all. Wthin the sarcophagus were three more coffins, each fitting snugly inside the other. The final coffin was made of solid gold. Inside it was the mummified body of Tutankhamen.
But before anyone could investigate further, disaster struck. It began when Carter’s patron, Lord Carnavon, was bitten on the cheek by a mosquito. He accidentally cut open the bite while shaving. The bit soon became infected, and fever set in.
![Page 112: Lucy Reading- Nonfiction unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/559e92a01a28ab2c3d8b45e7/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
A few days later, Carnavon’s family raced to his bedside. He was very ill. Then, early one moring, it was all over. Lord Carnarvon died.
At the very moment of his death, all the lights in Cairo went out. They stayed out for several hours, and no one could explain why. Back at Lord Carnarvon’s home in England, Susie, his dog, pricked up her ears, howled once, then dropped dead.
Other details followed. A French Scientist who visited the tomb died after a fall. An X-ray specialist on his way to examine Tutankhamen’s mummy died unexpectedly. Then a wealthy American died from a virus after visiting the tomb. Were these deaths all coincidences, or was the curse of the mummy to blame? No one knows for sure.

How to Find the meaning
Find the time in the story when the main character had to make a pivotal choice. What kind of consequence does the choice have? Is there a message or idea for everyone in this?
When the character meets challenges, what helps? Is there a message or idea for everyone in this?
Did the character learn a lesson? Does this lesson apply to us?

Teacher’s Advice
Read these books like you read fiction books, getting lost in the story.
Don’t worry if you miss some facts, you can always reread for specific facts later.
Be thinking, “what lesson could this story hold for us all?”
