Reading Strategies

Pre-reading phase  (preactive)

Questions you ask yourself:

1. What do I know about my subject already?

2. How is the reading laid out?

3. What can I predict the reading will say?

4. Did I scan over the reading first?

Reading phase (interactive or assistance)

1. What is the main idea?

2. Is the information similar to anything I have learned before?

3. Is there anything I am wondering about?

4. Are there any words I really don't have a clue about?

Reflection phase (reflective)
