  1. Reading STAAR Strategies

  2. Be ready for • Cause & Effect • Predictions • Drawing Conclusions • Fact & Opinion • Theme • Parts of a book and how to use them (index, table of contents, glossary) • Supporting conclusions with examples from the text. • Using dictionary (guide words) • What are headings and why are they there • What is the meaning of a word (use context clues, try the word you choose in place of the word) • Synonyms (words that are similar) • Antonyms (words that are the opposite)

  3. Underline the title (it usually tells you what it is all about) • Think about why the author wrote it • Is it a newspaper, magazine, poem, journal…? • Read everything and look at pictures, maps, charts, tables (why did the author include these things?) • Write notes • If it asks for a summary, remember beginning, middle and end (make sure it is what it is all about)
