Have you ever read a page in a book but were unable
to answer questions about the page? This happens all
the time to readers. It is common to read a paragraph,
page, or even an entire chapter, only to realize you
don't understand what you just read.
It is important to stop and monitor yourself when
reading.
- Stop and ask yourself some questions about what you just read.
- If you are not able to answer them, go back and reread.
- If needed, try slowing down your reading.
- Record yourself reading the text below.
- In the recording, include a question to ask yourself based on the text.
- Record your answer to the question.
You may have learned about patterns in math class.
Your teacher may set out an orange rectangle and a
blue triangle. "Add to the pattern," she might say.
Then, you would set out another orange rectangle.
Next, you'd add a blue triangle. You would keep
adding to the pattern. To do so, you would alternate
orange rectangles and blue triangles. This makes an
AB pattern.
Now it's your turn! Practice reading the story
aloud. Using the audio recording software of your
choice, record yourself reading the passage on your
own. Then, submit it to your teacher for a grade.
