Fix-Up Strategies  

Use Reading Strategy Tools!

Read directions one step at a time. 

If you don't get it at first use these fix-up strategies:

1. Check your own inner voice.

      Are you paying attention to the text, thinking about it, or are you thinking about something else?  If you are not focused on the text, FOCUS.

2. If you didn't get it the first time, focus on it, and read it again.

3. If you still don't get it, try reading it out loud.

4. If you still don't get it, try reading ahead a bit.

    The next sentence or so may help you understand what you just read. 

5. If you still don't understand, look for any words that may be getting in your way.

    Are there terms you don't understand?   
1. Is there something in the context that gives you a clue about what they mean?  
2. Can you look them up? 
3. Could you ask someone who would know what they mean?  

6. If you've really tried all of these strategies, and you still don't understand, ask someone who can help you.

If You Were Absent: See above.  complete the make-up reading.
