We use fix-up strategies when we are stuck or when we
loose our way [run into a clunk] while reading. Pick and
choose as you hit a 'clunk'. |
Try one of the following to help you get back on track.
This is how you self monitor as you read. |

|

|
Stop when you run into trouble.
Reread the sentence or paragraph, before reading on . |
 THINK;
"Does it make sense now?"

|
Take notes on main ideas |
When you run
into trouble use sticky notes to write down what the
problem is. |
Make
Connections
What does this text remind me of? T-S
[text-to-self] * T-T [text-to-text] * T-W [text-to-world] |
Predict: " What will happen next?" |
Look at the bold
and or italicized words
as well as marginal notes. These are usually key words and
concepts. |
Ask
a partner or peer for help. |
Questions for your teacher; Use sticky notes to highlight anything
that is confusing and then use this during a conference with your
teacher. |
Always keep the main or controlling idea of the reading in the back
of your mind as you read, fill in details as you go. |
Word Solve:
-
Look for familiar chunks and
sound it out.
-
Look for little words and big
words in the word.
-
Think about whether you've
seen the word before, where and in what context.
-
Read ahead to gather context
clues.
-
Ask yourself, "What will make
sense and matches the letters?"
-
Substitute a word that makes
sense in the sentence.
|
Stop and Ask:
-
“Does
this make sense?”
-
"Where Did I loose track?"
-
"What's my purpose for reading?"
-
"How's this related to the main
idea?"
-
"Did I use the punctuation to
guide me as I read?"
-
"What do I already know about
this?" Connect the new information to the old.
