Good Readers...Summary...good readers ask questions, draw inferences,synthesis determine importance,make connections,create visual and sensory images, use a variety of fix-up strategies, dwell and struggle with ideas in order to hold their thinking || When readers ask question, they clarify understanding.. || Mom and diagnosis with cancer-when I was told by the doctor that my mother had a terminal cancer...I had to take notes as her spoke to me over the phone. Then I used those notes and questions that I had after listening and researched further. I read and read and that caused more questions and further reading to clarify...long nights...lots of reading. ||

|| Making connections...readers..think about the connections they make between the text, their lives..... || book-Essence of Understanding by Ellin Oliver Keene says that you need to think about what you are reading...dwell on it, take time to picture it, talk about it...struggle with it... ||

|| Inferences...speculate about what is to come || We do this daily...child asking mom to have a sleep over after assessing her level of stress or body language If boss is leaning over her desk and has her hands on her head ...now would not be a good time to ask for money to attend an out of town conference or in the world of business a "raise" ||
