In Term 4 we will be focusing on just two important strategies we need to use to become good readers:
Questioning and Visualising:
Good readers ask questions before, during and after they have read a text.
Sometimes the question is answered in the text.
Sometimes you have to use your own prior knowledge and what’s in the text to help you come up with the answer.
Sometimes the question may not be answered by the text at all and you will have to find another source of information to help you.
Asking and answering questions helps you look for information, which builds understanding.
When authors write, they use words to describe things. The words make a picture in your mind. Creating a picture in your mind or drawing the picture on paper can help you understand what you are reading. This strategy is called visualizing.
