Fix Up Strategies Identifying the confusing parts Think about whether you’ve seen the word before, where, and in what context. Reread the unclear part Look for familiar chunks and sound it out Look for little words and big words in the word Try to connect the unclear part to something you already know. Substitute a word that makes sense in the sentence. Reread the sentences before the unclear part. Ignore the unclear part and read on to see if it gets clearer. “Fix up strategies” is a term we use for strategies we have modeled, practiced and applied with students in reading instruction. These strategies are now ready for the reader to own and apply in their independent and content area reading. Because of the nature of content area text, reteaching how to apply these strategies in the I do, we do, you do format would facilitate transfer of the skill. These skills should follow from using our primary cueing strategy first, then on to confirming strategies. Rereading the unclear parts provides the learner with one more chance to clear up any inadvertent mistakes (reading too fast, loss of attention…) The three strategies under reread are all word recognition based. They ask students to rely on their knowledge and practice with decoding and semantics. These strategies would be used for when word recognition breaks down. The bottom three strategies are more syntactical and would be used when comprehension breaks down. DP students Induction Session - ATL: Communication - Reading Strategies by Lee Fun Nee June 2012

Activity 1 Read the following passage and complete the table, which compares the two earthquakes. DP students Induction Session - ATL: Communication - Reading Strategies by Lee Fun Nee June 2012

At 5:13 on the morning of April 18th, 1906, they city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake. A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt. The umber of people who lost their homes reached as many as 250 000. About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires. Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October 17th, 1989. It was America’s second strongest earthquake and about 100 people were killed. It happened in the evening as people were travelling home. A wide and busy road, which was built like a bridge over another road, fell onto the one below. Many people were killed in the cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt. Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about 50 kilometres away. In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed. These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough. There were a lot of fires all over the city. The electricity was cut of for several days too.
