If you have been having trouble understanding what is going on when you read a book, then it is important to change the way you read a book. This book should help you practice with a number of strategies as you read with purpose and become an active reader. To read with a purpose you will have things to be thinking about as you begin to read a chapter and activities to do to help you better understand what you have read. Put together, these activities are useful in helping you practice, access, and organize information and better understanding your reading. When you are Reading with Purpose, that means doing more than just reading the words in a chapter or section and hoping that you understand or remember it, but instead you start by thinking about what and why you are reading, even before you start reading. You might be thinking about what you already know about the book, predicting what you think a chapter is about, or looking for specific things like setting elements of where and when the story is taking place. The ideas here are to make your reading more active by you doing things about what you are reading. These activities help give you a purpose in your reading. For example let's start with why you are reading this book. I’m reading The Hound of the Baskervilles..... • to practice my reading • to get a good grade in my class • to pass the test about the book 3 • to learn about gardening • for my own pleasure • I heard about the story and it sounded fun • because it looked interesting • because I’m bored Did any of those reasons fit for why you are about to begin reading this book? If so then you have identified your reading purpose for this book and have done a reading strategy - you have stated your purpose in reading this book. Reading Strategies As you read this book the reading strategies will you will use will be in three parts for each chapter. First are the BEFORE YOU READ strategies, these are done before you start reading that book or chapter. Next are the AS YOU READ strategies, these are done as you are reading the chapter and may include activities that focus on vocabulary, note taking and highlighting. Finally, with each chapter there are the AFTER YOU READ activities, these will be between two and five reading strategies that follow each chapter that help you think about what you have read, put things together, or answer questions. You should also read actively. As you read this book you should practice "active reading," do this by using the highlighting and note taking features of your ebook to highlight the key information, and taking notes. This kind of active reading helps emphasize the information in your mind as you read, and helps you review important points, can keep your mind focused on your reading over other distractions. Here is an example of the strategies that could be in one of the chapters of the book: BEFORE YOU READ: • Think about the title, table of contents or pictures and try to predict what will happen in the chapter. 4 • Think about what you already know and what questions you might have that you hope to find out as you read. AS YOU READ: • Highlight, make notes or think about how the author uses special words or phrases to communicate. • Use context clues and your e-reader’s dictionary to help you determine the meaning of unknown words. • Highlight or make notes about statements you don’t understand, things that surprised you, questions you have about that text, or test that reminds of of something you make a connection to, like something are already are familiar with, have read, or seen a movie about • .If you can talk about what you are currently reading with someone else, or even read with or to them. Talking and asking questions with others about what you are reading can be a fun way to learn more about the text. • Rereading is a good strategy when you don’t understand part of the reading. When you reread, you should read at a slower pace, think about what you have read, and look for clues to help make the text more understandable, like you might go back a page or two and see if that new that vocabulary word was mentioned or think about how the story might be if it was written from the perspective of a different person in the story. • Track or map what is happening in the story. Make notes, highlight, or diagram things that happen, such as the story elements: Setting, Characters, Mood, Events, Resolution, and Theme. AFTER YOU READ: • Think about what questions you still have about the story. • Stop and retell the sequence of events that occurred in the chapter to see if you understand what has happened. 5 • Identify the important key points of the story from the chapter you just finished. • Rate how you feel about the story or characters so far. Vocabulary in Context As you read and come to new words that you don’t know or words that are used in ways that you don’t understand, you should first try to figure out what that words means from its context, and then from your reader’s interactive dictionary, so that you can check yourself and see if your definition makes sense. With just about any book for any reader there may be new words that you don’t know yet. If you just skip all these words because you don’t know their meaning, you may not end up with a good understanding of what you read. One nice thing about using your ereader, is that you can instantly look up a word, just by pressing on that word for a moment and see a definition pop up. But, you may not even need to do that, and if you do look up a word then you may find that it has multiple meanings. So one way to learn new words is to figure out their definition from their context clues: the words around them or the words in context (as they are used). Whenever you read a new word, unless it is a spelling list, you are reading it in a sentence, that sentence gives you information and clues about what the words mean. So, when you come to a word that you don’t know already, look at the context or clues around that word and figure out its meanings as you read. There are four basic kinds of context clues: Example, Definition, Descriptive, and Opposite) Example Context: With this kind of context clue, the sentence give you hints about what that word mean by giving you examples of that word. Look at the word “melancholy“ in the following sentence from the Hound of the Baskervilles. From this sentence you can figure out that melancholy is a feeling, and not a good one. 6 But I was eager to get back to my charge. The melancholy of the moor, the death of the unfortunate pony, the weird sound which had been associated with the grim legend of the Baskervilles, all these things tinged my thoughts with sadness.
