We use reading strategies to help us understand what we are reading. Recently, we have discovered that these strategies help us when we are thinking and we use them during math problem solving, science, social studies . . . during everything. In 3ES, we call them our thinking strategies.
Making Predictions - We think about:
-what might happen next
-what I want to find out
-what will happen to the characters
-how will the problem be solved
-how will a story end
-new ideas and how they make me reconsider what I think
Make Connections - We think about:
-how a text or math problem relates to another text or problem that we have read or solved before
-how a text or math problem relates to another text or problem that we has occurred in the world
-how a text or math problem relates to something in our own life experience
We Visualize
-we can think about the author's words and make a picture or a movie in our mind
-we can see the problem in our mind and develop a strategy to help us solve it
We Question - We think about:
-What is the purpose? - Is it to Entertain, Persuade, Inform?
-What does this mean to me?
-What do I already know?
-Does this make sense?
-What information is missing?
-We use the 5Ws - Who? What? Where? When? Why?
