Interact with the text


The skilled reader engages with text by using prior knowledge, asking questions,
making inferences, monitoring understanding, and determining the importance of what is
read.
When students make connections to the texts that they are reading, it helps them
to make sense of what they read, retain the information better, and engage more with
the text itself. Students can make connections between: the text and themselves. the
text and another text.

2. Have Goals in Reading


When students have a reading goal they are working on, they have basically created a
vision and path for their future learning. Setting goals in reading can encourage and
motivate students to work on their reading throughout the year.Reading is good for you
because it improves your focus, memory, empathy, and communication skills.

3. Evaluate Text
Evaluating is a reading strategy that is conducted during and after reading. This
involves encouraging the reader to form opinions, make judgments, and develop ideas
from reading. Teachers can create evaluative questions that will lead the student to
make generalizations about and critically evaluate a text.

4. Note structure of text before reading


Text structures refer to the way authors organize information in text. Recognizing the
underlying structure of texts can help students focus attention on key concepts and
relationships, anticipate what is to come, and monitor their comprehension as they
read.

5. Make Predictions
Making predictions is a strategy in which readers use information from a text
(including titles, headings, pictures, and diagrams) and their own personal experiences
to anticipate what they are about to read (or what comes next).

6. Construct, revise, and question as they read


Good readers construct, revise, and question the meanings they make as they read. Good
readers try to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words and concepts in the text, and
they deal with inconsistencies or gaps as needed. They draw from, compare, and
integrate their prior knowledge with material in the text.

7. Monitor their understanding as they read.


Good comprehension monitoring is important for readers to ensure they understand what
they are reading. It significantly improves reading comprehension and, eventually,
students become enthusiastic readers. It is important because it allows readers to
adjust their reading if they do not understand something.
