7 Habits of Effective Readers

Page 13: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

What are the 7 habits?

Visualizing Questioning Making connections Predicting Inferring Determining importance Synthesizing

Page 14: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Visualizing

Form a mental image or other picture Sample statements:

“I can see…” “I imagine…” “That gives me a picture of…”

Page 15: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Questioning

Ask questions about what you don’t understand or aren’t sure of – what happened, why characters did certain things etc.

Sample statements: “I wonder…” “What if…” “Why…” “I don’t get…”

Page 16: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Making connections

Think about how the text relates to other texts (text-to-text), to you (text-to-self), and to the world (text-to-world)

How do these connections help you better understand the text or its characters?

Sample statements: “This reminds me of…” “This part/character is like…” “I have a connection to…”

Page 17: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Predicting

Based on your reading, think about what will happen next.

As you continue to read, see if your predictions were correct or not.

Sample statements: “I predict that…” “Since this happened, I think that…” “I bet…”

Page 18: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Inferring

Draw conclusions about the text based on what you read (“reading between the lines”)

Details from the text should support your inferences

Sample statements: “Because of this, I know…” “I can tell that...because…” “This detail shows me that…”

Page 19: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Determining importance

Decide which characters, events, or other ideas are most important to the text

Knowing what’s important allows you to effectively summarize

Sample statements: “This is important because…” “This part is key because…”

Page 20: 01.31.2011 EXILE POETRY

Synthesizing

Synthesizing means creating new knowledge Effective synthesis shows you truly understand the

text Sample statements:

“The point of this is…” “The theme of this text is…” “The central idea of this text is…”
