  1. The Reading Process What is Reading?

  2. What is reading? • Reading requires tools • Reading is a set of habits and abilities – learn to pay attention to the clues provided in your reading • READING IS THINKING • Reading is POWER – you gain intellectual strength and important knowledge about the world.

  3. Types of reading we do: • Academic reading: the reading done at school – textbooks, maps, poetry, novels, math problems, scientific procedures • Personal reading: things you read on your own time for enjoyment – websites, inspirational books, magazines, letters, notes, etc. • Workplace reading: reading done at work – policies and manuals. • Functional reading: the reading done everyday to function – schedules, labels, directions, rules

  4. What you read • Everyone’s taste of reading differs (likes, dislikes) • Technology has changed what we read – cell phones, text messages, email, books on computer, audio books

  5. The Reading Process • Before Reading: Set a purpose, Preview the reading, plan a strategy • During Reading: Read with your purpose, create some personal connection to the text • After Reading: Pause, reflect, and look back to see if you found info that fits your purpose – reread to find out things you might have missed the first time – remember what you learn

  6. Before Reading • Set a purpose – why are you reading, what do you need to find out? • Who? What? Where? When? How? Why? • Preview – A quick skim through • Vocabulary (bold, italicized, repeated words), organization (chronological, cause-effect, compare/contrast) • Content – title, subheadings, headings • Plan – What strategy should I use? • Graphic organizer, paraphrasing, visualizing, thinking aloud, outlining, skimming, etc – This is also called “Active Reading”

  7. During Reading • Read with a Purpose – read actively to find the answers to your questions – ask yourself questions, take notes, have a discussion, use graphic organizers • Check your understanding as you read – talk to yourself as you read, make notes of unknown info • Connect – try to tie what you are reading to your life or to what you already know (this makes what you are reading more interesting)

  8. After Reading • Pause and Reflect – when you have finished reading take a moment to think about what you have read. – Did you understand it? Did you find the answers to your questions? • Reread – If you have unanswered questions then reread • Remember – the key to remembering is making the info your own (even if it is the worst thing you have ever read!!)
