"things proficient readers do automatically"
Predict

confirm your prediction by reading
Question

ask questions before, during, and after reading
Visualize
imagine or picture the people, places, and things that are described
look for "imagery" words that appeal to your five senses
Clarify
try to summarize what you've read in "
your own words"
determine what is important in the text -
main idea or theme
look for the main idea
Connect
text-to-self: your own experiences
text-to-text: other things you have read
text-to-world TV, movies, home community, the world
Evaluate
integrate new information with prior knowledge
what is your opinion of the text?
