This document provides a strategy evaluation matrix that outlines five reading comprehension strategies: skim/survey, slow down, activate prior knowledge, fit ideas together, and draw diagrams. For each strategy, the matrix describes how to use the strategy, when it should be used, and what the purpose or benefit of the strategy is. The strategies are meant to help readers focus on important information, understand complex or unfamiliar topics, organize and relate ideas, and improve memory and comprehension of textual information.
