• Introduction- Let students know what they are
  about to learn. Connect the new material to
  students' prior knowledge and the text being
  studied.
• Teacher modeling- Show students how to use the
  strategy. Teacher think-aloud techniques are
  effective for this.

• Guided practice- have students gradually take
  charge of the strategy and begin to require less
  support from you.
• Independent practice- Give the students
  opportunities to try the strategy in new
  situations and to reflect on how it has been
  useful.
