Good Readers by Kelsi S.

You should read the question first and then read the passage. It might help you. It helped me. Then go back and answer the question. Skim and scan a book and do the five-finger rule. Is it a just right book? Do you like the book? Is it your level?

Good Readers by Amanda L.

What readers do best is if they don’t know a word they can sound it out. They can skim and scan which means to look over but not to read. You can make connections by seeing what happens in a story and what happens in your life. If you don’t know what a word is you can reread it .The five finger rule is if you have a book you can read it and if you don’t know a word you put a finger up. If you have all five fingers up that means the book is probably to hard and you need to get an easier book to read.

They skim and scan which means it you look for stuff in your own book with out reading.
They make connections which means that you relate back to what has happened in your life time and it is happening in your book.
They make predictions which means like you guess what your book is going to be like when you don’t
They have to have a purpose.

What Good Readers Do by Cassey D.

You always need to read the back of the book.

Read every day.

You also need to PREDICT about what’s going to happen in the book you’re going to be reading.

You need to skim and scan, too.

You also need to use this thing called the five-finger rule.
That is when you pick any page in you’re book then read that page. If you don’t know a word put one finger up. If you get to all five fingers up then that book is probably too hard for you, but you can only do that with for-fun books.

Then make Connections. That is when you connect something that’s has happened, will happen, or is happening around you. There are three different kinds of connections like text to world, text to text, text to self.

Set a purpose why you’re reading that book.

Get an A.R. book, which means accelerated reader.

Also, when you are taking a reading test you need to read the questions before you read the passage. So you know what you’re looking for in the passage that you are reading.

You need to make a mental image in your head, which means you make a picture in your head while you reading. 

           

Good Readers

What do good readers do?  You've probably never thought about that before, but my students think about it EVERY SINGLE DAY!  If you want to be a good reader, you have to know what to do!  So our first post is going to be about what good readers do.

The students were given two minutes to brainstorm some ideas about what good readers do.  Then, they typed their answers in Microsoft Word in sentences that make sense, put it in the student drop box, and I will post it here!
