We have been working on game plans for more effective reading. Some of the tips we've been working on and applying to short passages are #1. - Previewing and making predictions. We've found that there is so much we can learn with a quick preview. #2. - Think about what you already know about a topic. We learned about the handy dandy KWL chart and how useful it can be. #3. - Match your plan to the type of passage you're reading. Informational passages often require us to read more carefully. #4. - Keep your mind active and your pencil active. #5. - Continue to ask questions and make predictions. #6. - Pay attention to how the passage is organized. #7. - Scan for important information. #8. - Think about where new information would fit in a passage (particularly non fiction articles). After working through the various tips, we applied them to a short article on the brain. We will continue to use the tips in our reading.
