  3. What are metacognitive reading strategies? • There are seven strategies. The strategies are: • Visualizing • Inferring • Determining importance • Making connections • Asking questions • Synthesizing • Using fix up strategies

  4. Visualizing • When you visualize, you think: • I create pictures in my mind as I read. • I see what I read. • I feel what I read. • It's like a movie in my mind.

  5. Inferring • When you infer, you think: • Questioning as I read helps me draw conclusions, make predictions and reflect on my reading. • When the author doesn't answer my questions I must infer... • Start an inference by thinking: • Maybe... • I think... • It could be ... • It's because... • Perhaps... • It means that ... • I'm guessing...

  6. Determining importance • When you determine importance, you think: • I understand the main ideas of the text and what the author's message is. • Determine what is important by thinking: • The text was mostly about... • The author is trying to tell us that... • I learned... • The important details were...

  7. Making connections • You can make three types of connections: • Text to self • Text to text • Text to world

(text to text) • It reminds me of the time I ... because ...  (text to self) • It reminds me of something I read because ... (text to text, or text to world) • It reminds me of something I heard about because ... (text to world)

  9. Asking questions • When you ask questions, you think: • If I ask questions, I can look for answers – • before I read • as I read • after I read. •  Ask questions by thinking: • I wonder... • I was confused when... • How could that be? • Why do you think? • Who… • What... • Where… • When...

  10. Synthesizing • When you synthesize, you think: • I combine what I know with new information to understand the text. • Synthesize by thinking: • Now I get it! • This makes me think of... • I learned that ... • I understand this because of ....

  11. Using fix up strategies • When you use fix up strategies, you think: • I know how to use different techniques when: • I get stuck on a word • when I get confused • Use fix up strategies by thinking: • I’ll use context clues to define the word • I’ll reread to clarify the meaning • I’ll use my questions and connections
