sharp and look for clues, special

information, and words that you

can use later on!

YOU BETTER THINK; THINK! Make inferences

about why the

author is telling us

a specific detail

★ “What does the

author want us to

know about?”

“Why?”Imagine talking with the

author while reading

★ Ask him/her questions to

yourself, and put yourself in

their shoes. Try your best to

answer the questions you

have, discuss with the teacher

or family later at home.

Stop!

★ Stop sometimes throughout reading to summarize what you have read so far.

★ If you’re unable to summarize or comprehend what you have read.

when there are questions. If your questions go unanswered in the text:

★ Go through the text again, ask a peer, check another book about the same type of information. Always ask your teacher (if needed).

text relates to you personally

better?
