111. Effective vs. Ineffective Strategies Before Reading the Selection Don’t necessarily acknowledge the challenges of academic reading and often approach tasks with an unproductive mind set and study environment. Create a productive study environment and mind set to accomplish their task. Do not have a reading purpose other than trying to get through some pages. Understand their reading task and set a clear purpose for reading. Have not assessed the difficulty level or length of the assignment and simply begin reading, attempting to finish one session. Establish a realistic reading plan after examining the assignment length and difficulty through prereading. Start reading without thinking about the subject or looking over the selection. Activate background knowledge on the subject through reflection and prereading.
112. Effective vs. Ineffective Strategies While Reading the Selection Rarely or never takes the initiative to seek clarification from the teacher. Make note of problematic material to later question the teacher and/or other sources. Seldom use and fix-up strategies when they are uncertain or confused. Monitor their reading comprehension and do it so often it becomes automatic. Do not monitor their comprehension. Keep a constant check on their understanding. Are not very “text-wise” and have no clear sense of text organization and therefore have difficulty identifying important information. Are familiar with text structure and know how to identify maid ideas, terms, concepts. Interrupt their reading process regularly with mental or environment distractions. Give their complete attention to the task.
113. Effective vs. Ineffective Strategies After Reading the Selection Simply glance over or reread pages of the assigned reading before a test. Synthesize and organize the main ideas for review and study purposes. Do not identify and organize the main ideas for study purposed. Identify, highlight and annotate main ideas within the text. Do not follow with any form of comprehension self-check. Evaluate comprehension of what was read. Are not entirely certain what they have read. Decide if they have achieved their reading goal.
