Predict

Why do we Predict?

When do we Predict?

• Before and during reading

How do we Predict?

• Think about title, look at cover and pictures
• Think about the text structure
• Use what you know
• Ask questions ~ I wonder. . .,  Who is. . .,  Why is. . . .
• Change your predictions as you read
• Can be proven or not

Monitor/Clarify

Why do we Monitor/Clarify?

• To make sense of our reading

When do we Monitor/Clarify?

• When the reading no longer makes sense
• When we are stuck on a word’s meaning

How do we Monitor/Clarify?

• Use your schema, what you already know
• Study the structure
• Predict, infer, make connections, ask questions, summarize
