These are the different reading strategies you can use for a leveled guided reading text and a brief explanation of each strategy.

*Summarizing  - Write a summary of your reading. *Predicting  - Make predictions as to what you think will happen next in the story.

*Decoding  - Write down 3 difficult/unfamiliar/unusual words that you encounter while reading. Find the meaning of these words in a dictionary.

*Clarifying  - Read an assigned section and think about a part that was confusing or interesting. Then explain why in more detail.

*Connecting  - Make a connection from what you read either as a text-text, text-self, or text-world.

*Visualizing  - Draw a picture of an event from the story. Be prepared to explain it in detail to your classmates.
