How do I comprehend what I’m reading?
August20
Below you will find some helpful strategies students should focus on to assist them in understanding what they’re reading:
-visualize (movie in head)
-reread a section
-make connections & predictions
-ask questions/wonderings
-background knowledge (nonfiction)
-summarize after reading
-put yourself in the book (think of yourself as the main character)
-remove yourself from distractions
Make sure you’re reading a book that’s just right for you!
-We shared your child’s reading Lexile with him/her on Monday. For your reference, on grade level for the beginning of 5th grade should range between 825-850 Lexile.
-If you want to know the reading level of your book, visit the “Reading Resources” page link to the right and visit “Scholastic Book Wizard” link or the Lexile link. We practiced with this in class yesterday!
Happy Reading!
