piece of information. Run your eyes
over the text looking for the specific
piece of information you need. Use
scanning on schedules, meeting
plans, etc. in order to find the
specific details you require. If you
see words or phrases that you don’t
understand, don’t worry when
scanning.

33. General Strategies for Reading
Comprehension
The process of comprehending text begins before children
can read, when someone reads a picture book to them.
They listen to the words, see the pictures in the book, and
may start to associate the words on the page with the
words they are hearing and the ideas they represent.
In order to learn comprehension strategies, students need
modeling, practice, and feedback. The key
comprehension strategies are described below.
34. Using Prior Knowledge/
Previewing
When students preview text, they tap into what
they already know that will help them to
understand the text they are about to read. This
provides a framework for any new information they
read.
35. Predicting
When students make predictions about the
text they are about to read, it sets up
expectations based on their prior knowledge
about similar topics. As they read, they may
mentally revise their prediction as they gain
more information.
36. Identifying the Main
Idea and
Summarization
Identifying the main idea and summarizing
requires that students determine what is
important and then put it in their own words.
Implicit in this process is trying to understand
the author’s purpose in writing the text.
37.
38. Asking and answering
questions about text is
another strategy that helps
students focus on the
meaning of text. Teachers
can help by modeling both
the process of asking good
questions and strategies
for finding the answers in
the text.
Questioning
39. Making Inferences
What is an inference?
An inference is a conclusion that
has been reached by way of
evidence and reasoning.
For example:
a. If you notice someone
making a disgusted face after
they’ve taken a bite of their
lunch, you can infer that they
do not like it.
b. If a friend walks by with a
graded test in her hand and a
smile on her face, you
could infer that she got a
good grade on the test.
40. Studies have shown that
students who visualize
while reading have better
recall than those who do
not (Pressley, 1977).
Readers can take
advantage of illustrations
that are embedded in the
text or create their own
mental images or drawings
when reading text without
illustrations.
