The Reading Process Approach
Before Reading Determine what the student
already know and need to learn. Bes sure to tell
the students to Read Directions, Establish a
purpose for the reading and know what you are
supposed to understand or do after you finish,
gather tools or materials needed (pen, paper,
highlighter) and determine how best to use
them. During Reading Continually check what
you read against the predictions you made,
revising your understanding as necessary, use all
your senses, Check for understanding as you read,
make connections between what you are reading and
your own experiences. After Reading Check for
understanding, asking questions as, Do I
Understand what I just read? Did I achieve my
reading goal? Return to the text or consult
others who can help you better understand and
remember what you read.
