Targets for Today:  I have strategies that I can use before, during, and after reading to help myself focus, understand, and remember.

Today’s  Agenda for Monday, October 8, 2018: 1. Quiet Individual Reading Time   Select a book to read and read quietly for about 20 minutes. Notice what your alignment is, and any predictions you make. Fill out your reading log.  Example   10-08-18  x The House with a Clock in Its Walls, pp. 40-55  20  If you're absent, or were off-task during reading time, or didn't fill out your log, pick up a pink make-up sheet and do the homework. 2. Partner Fluency Practice.        Participate appropriately as both reader and listener.       Fill out your fluency graph for each time you read.  Example Date 10-08-18 10-08-18 Passage 618 618 Words Per Minute 143 (your own WPM) 153   (your own WPM) Continue  YOUR BICUM BROCHURE --               Learn these strategies.  You will be tested!  On the final test:  Know what BICUM stands for, know and use the SELF Check, and know strategies you can use before reading, during reading, and after reading.            Your Brochure: Inside --- Fill  in the middle section. Before Reading Complete a Self Check  Study Area  Emotions Level of  Difficulty Feeling physically  Preview 1. Read the title. (and headings) Ask: What do I know about this subject? What does background mean? 2. Read the first couple of sentences and the last couple of sentences. 3. Look for bold or italicized print. 4. Look at charts, maps, graphs, diagrams. (also illustrations -- Read the captions.) 5. Ask:  Is this a reliable and useful source?  Use ABC's or CRAAP Test if needed. 6. Select or  Create Questions (Set Purpose!) 7. Set Study Length During Reading Be Active ➨ Check your alignment. ➨"Talk" with the author or text. ➨Visualize. ➨ Make Predictions      1) predict 2) read 3) check 4) compliment or correct      Make Inferences. Read between the lines.  ➨ Pace yourself with a pencil, or better yet, with your finger. ➨ Make Connections!       Text to Self       Text to Text       Text to World ➨Stop every once in awhile to  check your understanding. Yes, I do  understand. Mark and highlight  text. Read to end of study block.  No, I don't  understand Use fix-up strategies: See the back of this brochure! _ ____________________ Be Active:    Predicting -- continued from last time This is the prediction cycle:  1) predict 2) read 3) check (to see whether you were right) 4) compliment (yourself on getting it right) or correct (your thinking using the new information).  [Continue reading if there is more.]  A4 got to here. How could these words be related to each other in a story?        bed                   spider                  mother                  kill                       sheets                                       book A3 got to here.  How could these words be related to each other in a story?        nine-year-old girl stuffed animal rat How could these words be related to each other in an article?  “largest 4th of July celebration in the United States.”  a well- paved, 2-hour hike enormous dinosaur museum 1849 that Mormon settlers came to live in the area        2,144 square miles ________________________ Be Active: Make Inferences Prediction is about what is to come.  Inference is about what is.   Inference is reading between the lines.   What is the author saying without directly stating it?  Words you need to know:  Imply =      to suggest Infer =       to conclude if not for the cat inferences copy.pdf Making Inferences is very similar to Making Connections and Making Predictions. In fact, predictions are a type of inference.  When you make inferences, you use clues from the text, memories, facts, experiences, and more to "read between the lines". You're not just looking forward to guess what will happen next, but you're looking at the whole text!  We will use an acronym to help us remember the important parts of making an inference.   KIC Key details/words --- clues from the text + what  I already knew. . . ..  Combine them  to come up with an inference Let's make some inferences about this picture. Pick a detail, infer something, and explain why that detail supports your inference.  What can you infer about the man on the right? What details support your inference? Why? What can you infer about the man on the left? What details support your inference? Why?    Making inferences is a life skill, not just a reading skill! You make inferences all the time as you meet new people, decide if a movie is going to be good or not, or try to figure out what happened to that thing that you lost.  __ More practice:   Example:   "I spend all my time Picking up ants with my tongue. It's a busy life."  My inference:  Text Evidence:  What I already know:  ____________________ Now it's your turn:   alone, then with a partner who has the same set of haiku --
