• The purpose of reading is to link ideas
on the page to what we already know.

4. What are reading strategies?
• Reading strategies are explicit, planned
actions that help translate the printed word
into sounds and meaning. Reading skills
benefit every kind of student, but they are
essential for emerging readers, struggling
readers, English Language Learners, and
students with learning challenges.
• Reading strategies are often categorized
as those behaviors designed to help
students before, during and after they read.

5. What should I do if I don’t like to
read?
• Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys reading.
• This may be for a variety of reasons: the reading is
difficult, the material isn't interesting, it takes too
much time or other reasons.
• However, since reading is used widely, it is
important to learn to read as well as possible. This
occurs with practice.
• Look for reading topics that interest you. Choose
reading material that interest you: magazines ,
Internet sites, comic books, newspaper , etc. And
use those materials to spark your enjoyment.

6. What is the meaning of before,
during and after reading strategies?
Reading teachers and experts have helped us to
think about reading as those things we do to help
us before we read a text, while we are reading the
text, and after we have finished reading the text.
Some examples include.
• Before Reading the Text(Pre reading)
o Establish a purpose
o Preview or survey the text
o Use prior knowledge
o Make predictions
o Identify New vocabulary

7. • During Reading
o Confirm, revise or reject predictions
o Create mental images
o Ask questions
o Clarify understanding
o Connect text to self, world and other texts
o Draw inferences
• After Reading
o Summarize and synthesize
o Respond to text
o Answer questions
o Connect to self, world and other texts

8. What is SQ3R?
• SQ3R is a commonly known and used strategy for
teaching comprehension of reading material.
• The acronym stands for Survey, Question, Read,
Recite and Review.
• Students are encouraged to begin reading by
surveying the contents, questioning to enhance
understanding, reading with purpose, reciting in
search of answers, and reviewing with the intent to
remember.
• This is an effective strategy to learn and apply as
text becomes more difficult, particularly for
textbooks at the secondary level.
