while they read!

• I will pause at the end of the passage and think:

Does what I read make sense?

• I will stop reading and think.

• I will take a guess if I don’t understand a word.

• I will slow down.

• I will skip a word if I can’t figure it out and then come

back to it.

• I will reread.

• I will make connections to help me remember.
