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: 1. Quiet Individual Reading Time   Select a book to read and read quietly for about 20 minutes. Notice when you make inferences.  Fill out your reading log.  Example   10-10-18  x The House with a Clock in Its Walls, pp. 56-70  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 10-10-18 10-10-18 Passage 618 618 Words Per Minute 143 (your own WPM) 153   (your own WPM) Your Brochure -- Outside -- Center Panel  After Reading -- #2 RETAIN (Remember) Teach Someone Study in Groups Recreate in Writing Make Flash Cards Use mnemonics 1. Rhymes and Songs 2.

Try reading it out loud. 4. Try reading ahead a bit. 5.  Look for any words (or  ideas or facts) that may be  getting in your way. 6.  Ask someone who  can help you. -- or mark it  with a ? for later. 7. Add to your background knowledge!  You can do this before reading or during reading. Look it up on a reliable online site. Find a book for children on the topic. Watch a documentary or other educational program.  BICUM Be in Control: Use Metacognition [Your Name] [Your Class Period]
