2. Methods used in reading to determine the meaning of
a text and helps them to become increasingly skillful in
the comprehension and interpreting.
•As an educator …
• You know that reading is the cornerstone for all learning. Students who are not
proficient readers by grade three often have more difficulty in other subject
areas.
• Being exposed to these good habits will help children become stronger readers
and students. The first step is developing positive reading habits with your child
or student, as well as a positive attitude towards literacy in your family, home and
school.
• Make the reading process something meaningful and attractive.
• Presented by: Sonia

3. As an student…
 Good readers find out what is going to happen next.
 They can figure out things that aren't there. Using this strategy before and during
can help the reader make predictions about what happens next or what you are going
to learn.
 Good readers recognize words without using context. When the reader has to sound
words out letter-by-letter, they may have no chance of figuring out the word.
 Good reader self-correct their misunderstanding by using content.
 Good reader will find the correct place and time to read.

5. 1 . Predict/Infer Strategy:
a). Think about the title, the illustrations,
and what you have read so far.
b).Tell what you think will happen next-
or what you think you will learn.
Thinking about what you already know
about the subject may help.
c). Try to figure out things the author
does not say directly.
Presented by: Milagros

6. 2. Phonics/Decoding
Good readers sound out words. They cover part of the word to
help them see the base word. They look for words that belong to
families they already know. They have memorized a lot of easy
words--they don't have to sound those ones out any longer.
a. Look carefully at the word.
b. Look for word parts that you know and think about the
sounds for the letters.
c. Blend the sound to read the word.
d. Ask yourself: Is this a word you know?
e. If not, ask yourself. What else can I try?
Presented by: Milagros

7. 3. Monitor/Clarify
Good readers reread a sentence when they
don't understand it. This strategy during
reading can help students when they are
confused about what they read.
a) Ask yourself if what you are
reading makes sense--or if you are
learning what you need to learn.
b)If you don't understand something,
reread, look at the illustrations, or
read ahead.
