The Reading Process


In Integrated Studies, we have introduced The Reading Process and practiced using stickie notes to jot down and remember information from the text. This process outlines the steps that good readers go through when reading a new text. Being aware of these steps can make us better readers.

1. Set a purpose: why are you reading this text?
2. Preview the text: do you have prior knowledge about the topic?
3. Plan: what strategies will help you remember what you read?
4. Read with a Purpose: be clear about why you are reading.
5. Connect: making connections to your own experiences helps you to remember.
6. Reflect: ask yourself if you have met your purpose?
7. Re-read: be patient - you may have to read the text more than once.
8. Remember: use a graphic organizer or stickie notes to remember important information
