Reading Strategy Characters
Reading Strategy: Predicting
Predicting is using clues from pictures and text to make an educated guess about what might happen next in a story. Madam Predictor is our reading character who uses her crystal ball to help her predict during reading.
Reading Strategy: Summarize
Sammy the Summarizer helps us lasso the main ideas out of a text, place them in a logical order, and write/say them using our own words.
Reading Strategy: Clarify
Clara the Clarifier helps to figure out words we don't know or understand. She helps us sound them out and use context clues to determine their meaning. Sometimes she rereads text if she didn't understand it the first time.
Reading Strategy: Questioning
Quincy the Questioner helps us ask questions about what we are reading. He uses words like who, what, where, when, why, how and what if. He knows that if you can ask a good question about what you have read, then you are understanding/comprehending it.
