Comprehension Strategies:
When we are reading a text [e.g. story] and we lose the meaning or become confused, we can:
- Stop and reread up to the point where we were stuck
- Think-What do we know already? What are the main points the author has made?
- Make a mental picture
- Read the confusing section slowly
- Think about what the author might be saying
- Concentrate and try to get a picture as we read this part
- Look for the most important event or piece of information in this section
- Ask ourselves questions and look for the answers in the text
- Look to see if the author expects us to infer– Are there any clues to help us think through exactly what the author means?
