When we are assigned a book to read in class, we are given a set of learning targets to focus on while we read. These targets are designed to help us get more out of the book, and to prepare us for answering who, what, when, why questions about the text.
One of the most important things we can do while reading is to increase our reading speed. This will help us get through the book more quickly, and it will also help us better understand what we are reading. To increase our reading speed, we need to practice skimming and scanning the text. Skimming means that we read quickly to get the general idea of what the text is about. Scanning means that we look for specific information in the text.
Another important thing we can do while reading is to improve our vocabulary. This will help us better understand what we are reading, and it will also help us answer who, what, when, why questions about the text. To improve our vocabulary, we need to look up words we don’t know and make sure we understand their meanings.
Finally, we need to focus on understanding what the author is saying. This will help us answer who, what, when, why questions about the text. To better understand the author’s message, we need to pay attention to the main idea of each section and to the details that support that main idea.
