Good Readers Askā¦
Before Reading
What do I think this book is about?
What do I predict might happen?
What do I already know about this topic or story?
During Reading
Does what I am reading make sense?
Do I understand the meanings of the words?
Can I picture what is happening in my mind?
After Reading
Were the predictions I made correct?
Did I learn something that I did not know already?
Can I retell the story or share the information in a summary?
What is a Just-Right book?
We learned that a just-right book should feel like you are riding your bike on a flat road, though there may be some bumps in the road.
It should not feel like you are struggling to bike up a hill, or simply gliding down a hill.
