Question- While you read, question what's happening. Searching for reasons behind events and characters' actions can help you get more involved in what you read.
Connect- Connect personally with what you're reading. Think of similarities between the descriptions in the selection and what you have personally experienced, heard, or read.
Predict- Try to figure out what will happen next and how the selection might end. Then read on to see if you made good guesses.
Clarify- Stop occasionally to review what you understand so far, and expect to have your understanding change and develop as you read on.
Evaluate- Form opinions about what you read, both while you're reading and after you've finished. Make judgments about the characters and develop your own ideas about events.
Visualize- Make a picture in your mind of what the text says. Imagine you are looking at what is describe.
