Reading Strategy and Skill
Character, Setting, and Plot
Monitor Comprehension/ Reread
We like to remind the students that reading is not about memorizing every detail in the story, because you can always reread if you forget or realize that you have lost focus. We also encourage students to read dramatically whether they are reading aloud or in their own heads. Reading with intonation and emotion will help you stay focused on what you read!
High-frequency words
though
special
