These are the types of readers I've asserted I hope for you all to become by the end of the semester and why.
What are "Reflective Learners and Readers" because we will not only be "thinking" as we read, but applying various strategies to comprehend what we're reading if/when meaning has broken down.
100
When reading, these readers not only potentially don't know what they've read, but also don't realize they don't know, they lack awareness.
What are "Tacit Learners or Readers".
100
Metaphor for having all of our own unique knowledge, background and experiences on a CD in our brain, or, also described as like having a skeletal system for adding newly learned information is...
What is schema.
100
These readers and learners use thinking and comprehension strategies, and are also able to monitor and correct meaning when it is disrupted.
What are "Strategic Learners and Readers".
100
These readers or learners realize when meaning has broken down or confusion sets in, but may not have sufficient strategies for correcting.
What are "Aware Learners or Readers".
200
These are known as the "Stages of Reading"
What is: Stage One/Previewing, Stage Two/Integrating Knowledge, Stage Three/Recall
200
When a reader or learner knows when they know and knows when they don't know, they are using this...
What is metacognition.
200
I’ve referred to this concept as “to add marks”.
What is annotating?
200
By using these correction strategies it helps to clarify confusing points.
What is correcting gaps in comprehension?
200
Being able to recognize “this is confusing”, “this just doesn’t make sense”, “this is different than what I expected” are all examples of this.
What is MONITORING ones ongoing comprehension?
300
These are known at the "Six Thinking Strategies"
What is: 1. Predict , 2. Picture, 3. Relate, 4. Monitor, 5. Correct, 6. Annotate
300
To set a purpose for reading, to activate background knowledge (schemata), and to build new knowledge.
What is “why do we preview?”
300
As you are personally connecting with reading material by looking over what is to be read, asking questions about what it will be about, asking yourself what you already know and what you will probably learn upon reading you are doing this.
What is PREVIEWING before reading?
300
While reading and thinking “I bet that guy on the sidewalk wasn’t really homeless” or “I think this passage will explain why some cultures are so very different than others” are examples of this.
What is making PREDICTIONS while reading?
300
While reading and thinking “this is similar to what happened in that movie”, or “this reminds me of the time my brother….”, or “this seems like what we talked about in my high school Social Studies class” are examples of this.
What is RELATING to what I’m reading?
400
A recall diagram, writing, self-testing, a debate, or a class discussion are all examples of this.
What are some strategies for recalling?
400
This is a way to assess your needs before beginning to read by deciding what the material is about, what needs to be done, and how to go about doing it.
What are the strategies for previewing?
400
Predicting, picturing, continually integrating old and new knowledge (relating), monitoring understanding to clarify confusing points, using correction strategies and annotating are examples of this.
What are the “Six Thinking Strategies” or the strategies for integrating knowledge during reading?
400
Recalling what has been read immediately after reading forces one to select the most important points, relate supporting details, integrate new information into existing networks or knowledge, and react.
Why recall or self-test what has been read?
400
Being able to recognize and say to oneself: “I’d better re-read”, “this word does not make sense to me I’d better check the context to figure it out”, or “perhaps I’ll read ahead to see if this gets clearer” are all examples of this.
What is CORRECTING gaps in comprehension?
500
Using techniques for understanding, studying and learning are examples of this.
What is strategic reading?
500
Reading is an active rather than passive process. Good readers preview before reading, integrate knowledge while reading, and recall after reading.
What are the three stages of reading?
500
By making connections with the reading topic before beginning to read the information will be more meaningful and memorable because of this.
What is why should you activate your schema?
500
Good readers control and direct their thinking strategies as they read. They know about knowing.
What is being metacognitive?
500
Pinpointing the topic, writing the most important points, relating to information and reacting are examples of this.
