  4. When we were kids, we obediently kept our noses in our school books without knowing why we were reading or what we were expected to get out of it. We were passive readers, because we didn’t believe that we had much to do with anything in the text or that our thoughts or opinions mattered. Our task seemed to be to answer end-of-chapter questions, make an outline, and remember the author’s ideas and information just long enough for Friday’s test. Strategies That Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis. P.25.

  5. Think / Pair / Share • Think and answer the questions using key words. (1 minute) • Pair up and select one or two key words for each question. (5 minutes) • Share with the whole group. • * What is reading? • * What is listening to a text? • * What is understanding?

  8. Interacting with the text to construct meaning Activate prior knowledge Why do we use this strategy ? To help connect new ideas to what we know which in turn helps us better understand what we read. Think (about what you know) + Associate (new information) = Activate prior knowledge
