Why Strategic Reading?
Successful readers are metacognitive: they plan their reading in relation to specific goals, and they monitor and evaluate their reading as they progress.
Research has defined seven reading strategies that these successful readers use: activating prior knowledge, inferring, monitoring and clarifying, predicting, questioning, summarizing, and visualizing. Skilled readers use these strategies unconsciously, and developing readers need to practice each consciously so that they eventually become habits.

How to Strengthen Strategic Reading with ReadWorks
|
ReadWorks text-dependent question sets provide carefully scaffolded practice in activating prior knowledge about text structure, inferring, monitoring and clarifying, and questioning. They help readers engage with texts and dig deeply into what they're reading.
Students will gain the most from our question sets by completing one for each reading passage. This regular practice will help students internalize the strategies as unconscious habits. |
How to Differentiate for Your Students
Reading passages and question sets can be differentiated by assigning StepReads or eBooks. Finding related reading passages at different levels for your students is also another option.
Using reading passages and question sets digitally makes even more differentiation options available, like audio and student tools. All students have access to the student tools, and a teacher can provide audio to the whole class, small groups, or individual students.
