Reading Strategies
By Rebecca

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have guided reading everyday (I teach 3rd). Here are some questions that I use with narratives:

BEFORE:
What does the title tell you?
What do the pictures tell you?
What do you know about this already?

DURING:
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?
How?
What
do you think will happen next?
(I have my questions in a pocket chart and they have smaller cards with the same questions. I stop at the end of every page or two at first until we get use to asking ourselves the questions, then I stop every several pages).

AFTER:
Who were the characters?
What was the setting?
What

was the problem?
How did they solve the problem?

Then I might extend:
If this story were to continue, what do you think would happen?
What if.....? (pose questions that pertain to your story)

Some strategies I use are:

Think Alouds
Imagery
Reader's Theater
Signals
Retelling
Graphic Organizers
Questioning
Role Play
Reading Radio
Read Around

Some skills are:

inferences
main idea/supporting details
story elements
compare/contrast
cause/effect

there are more skills, but I can't think at the moment.

Have fun!
