E. Reading Strategies Use think-aloud, graphic organizers, webs, study guides, and other tools to make covert comprehension processes overt. Formulate questions and draw conclusions, using given information during reading. Summarize content by identifying important ideas and providing details after reading. Identify and use text features, such as headings, paragraphs, and format, to preview a text and make predictions in order to comprehend. Actively ask questions, visualize, make connections, and predict as they read. Use content or structure of sentence in the reading selection to help determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

(For all of the above see LAL Curriculum Frameworks G3R page 4 of 11) Demonstrate knowledge of prefixes and suffixes such as, un-, re-, dis-, mis-, im-, pre-, in-, -less, -able, -ly, -ful, and er to clarify word meaning by completing a prefix and suffix chart.

H. Inquiry and Research Ask relevant questions in order to comprehend text. Generate clarifying questions in order to comprehend text. They may convert headings into a question they want answered, generate a question based on what has been read, or by stating I am going to read this passage to find out Use several approaches to note taking, such as informal outline and webbing notes in order to use as a study tool. (For all of the above see LAL Curriculum Frameworks G3R page 9 of 11) Use the writing process to produce and present a teacherselected research project from content area text; and use a variety of resources to gather and organize information. Pre-reading Activities: Use a KWHL ( What I Know, What I want to Know, How I will find out? What I Learned ) to help them develop questions for prior to, during, and after reading. During Reading Activities: Develop questions. Complete the KWHL chart. After Reading Activities: Summarize what they have learned by completing the What I Learned column. 7
