THE SHORT STORY ACTIVE READING STRATEGIES

THE SHORT STORY Predict: Helps you anticipate events and stay alert to the less obvious parts of a story. Make educated guesses about what will happen next by combining clues in the story and what you already know.

ASK YOURSELF… From the title, I’d guess this story is about… This character will probably… The next thing that has to happen is.. This story is different from my original prediction because…

CONNECT: Draw parallels between the people, places, and events in the story and the people, events, and places in your own life.

REVIEW… Pause from time to time to think about your reading. Summarize events in a story or rephrase difficult language to help you understand and remember what you’ve read.

SAY TO YOURSELF… So far,… In other words,…

RESPOND… Respond while you are reading. What are your immediate reactions?

SAY TO YOURSELF… I like this, because… I’d like to ask the writer why… I think this character is… I wish I could see this place because… That was surprising because…
