Reading Strategies

•As an educator …• You know that reading is the cornerstone for all learning. Students who are not

proficient readers by grade three often have more difficulty in other subject areas.

• Being exposed to these good habits will help children become stronger readers and students. The first step is developing positive reading habits with your child or student, as well as a positive attitude towards literacy in your family, home and school.

• Make the reading process something meaningful and attractive.

Reading StrategiesMethods used in reading to determine the

meaning of a text and helps them to become increasingly skillful in the comprehension and

interpreting.

As an student… Good readers find out what is going to happen next.

They can figure out things that aren't there. Using this strategy before and during

can help the reader make predictions about what happens next or what you are

going to learn.

Good readers recognize words without using context. When the reader has to sound

words out letter-by-letter, they may have no chance of figuring out the word.

Good reader self-correct their misunderstanding by using content.

Good reader will find the correct place and time to read.

and what you have read so far.

Cont.2. Phonics/DecodingGood readers sound out words. They cover part of the word to help them see the base word. They look for words that belong to families they already know. They have memorized a lot of easy words--they don't have to sound those ones out any longer.

a. Look carefully at the word.

b. Look for word parts that you know and think about the sounds for the letters.

c. Blend the sound to read the word.

d. Ask yourself: Is this a word you know?

e. If not, ask yourself. What else can I try?



3. Monitor/ClarifyGood readers reread a sentence when they don't understand it. This strategy during reading can help students when they are confused about what they read.

read ahead.
