Reading Strategies
Week 1
ELI 182 Online
Courtney King
What are reading strategies?
• How we make meaning out of words.
• How we figure out the message of a text.
• How we evaluate a text.
• How we understand the text in relation to the
outside world.
• How we make the most of our time when reading.
• How we know when to read carefully and when
to read quickly.
Strategies We’ll use
• Identifying purpose
• Previewing
• Predicting
• Asking Questions
• Checking predictions and answering questions
• Connecting text to background knowledge
• Summarizing
• Connecting one part of the text to another
• Rereading
Identifying a purpose
Reader defines a purpose for the given text and
understands why he/she is reading it.
• Why are you reading this text?
• Why was this text written?
• What will you gain from this text?
Previewing
The reader examines a text before reading. Looks at small
parts of the text (images, headings, subtitles, publication
date). Used in conjunction with predicting.
• Look at the text quickly.
• Look at the pictures.
• Read the captions and subtitles.
Predicting
The reader predicts what the text will be about based on
what he/she previewed and his/her knowledge on the topic.
• What will happen in this text?
• What will it be about?
• What will you learn?
• What kind of tone will the author use?
Ask questions
The reader asks questions about the text, the
topic, him/herself, or the reading task itself.
• Make a list of questions.
• What questions does this text make you think of?
• What questions do you hope to have answered in
this reading?
Now read!
Checking predictions &
answering questions
The reader reads the passage and then identifies whether
or not the predictions were correct or if his/her questions
were answered in the text.
• Try to find the answers to your questions. Can you?
• Are your predictions correct?
• What did you guess incorrectly?
• Why?
Connecting texts to background
knowledge
The reader connects background knowledge from her/his
life to the text, looking for connections between what is
known and what was learned in the reading.
• How does this text compare to your experiences?
• Have you had an experience that connects to the reading?
• What do you know about the topic already that was
proven by (or disproven by) the reading?
Summarizing
The reader restates the main ideas from the text into a short passage.
This is a good way to see if readers understand the reading or can
identify the main ideas in a text.
• Write a brief (1-3 sentence) summary of your reading.
• Make sure you include the following:
 All the major ideas
 The central message of the text
 The type of text
 The author’s name
Connecting one part of the text to
another
The reader connects the text being read to a text he/she has read before. This
can be a text read in class or a text outside of class. The two texts can agree or
disagree.
• Think about other texts you have read.
• Is this like any of those other texts?
• Is it the same or different? How?
• What made you connect these texts?
Rereading
The reader reads the text again, this time to answer any unanswered
questions and to make sure that understanding is accurate.
• Read again.
• What did you miss?
• Did you gain anything from this reading?
• What are you reading for this time?
