Help and Enrichment
Example: If I were reading an article about rainbows,
here are a couple of the BICUM strategies I could use:
SELF Check
S __Study
Area___________ __I’m in my Reading
7 classroom. It will probably be
pretty quiet while we’re taking a test, but I will have to ignore Mabel if she
tries to talk to me.
E___Emotions____________ _______I’m okay emotionally now.
L ____Level of difficulty___I think I know quite a bit about rainbows,
but this may have new information. The
article is several pages long, but has lots of pictures, so I think I could
read to each heading, then check to see if I understood.
F ____Feeling
physically_______ I feel okay. I’m not hungry or thirsty, and I don’t need
to go to the bathroom. I’m not sick.
____________________________________________
The test directions tell you
to -- Name and explain how you use at least two during-reading-strategies to help you focus on and /or comprehend the article:
a. I can
talk with the author, such as, “I am surprised that “no one sees the same
rainbow.”
b. I
can make connections between what I already know and the rainbows I’ve already
seen and the information in the article.
For instance, I have seen double rainbows and the colors are reversed
for the second rainbow.
