Metacognition and BICUM!

You will have time to do recreational reading in this class, but we will focus on STUDY-READING -- reading to learn and remember.

Step One: Notice Your Thinking so you can

really read when you're reading.

Metacognition = Noticing your own thinking.
Thinking about your thinking.

More to know:

BICUM -- Be in Control -- Use Metacognition.

1. Check your own inner voice

What distracts you? What keeps you from focusing on the thing you are supposed to be reading?

What do you do when you've been distracted and realize you haven't really been reading -- then what if you're just not getting it? How can you keep yourself focused in the first place?

Pair-Share

You can learn strategies to help yourself

succeed in your reading tasks.

1. Check your own inner voice.

Your mind is working all the time, whether you are paying attention to it or not. Noticing your own thinking is called METACOGNITION.

When you are reading, you can control your thoughts so that you are having a conversation with the text. This is called a

CONVERSATIONAL VOICE and is USEFUL.

We all have times when we are "reading," but really our thoughts are wandering to other subjects. This voice within your head, when you really should be reading, is called a WASTE-OF-TIME VOICE.

The best solution for the WASTE-OF-TIME VOICE is to gently bring you focus back to the reading material. Tell yourself that you'll think about that other subject later.
