What
Good Readers Do
Good readers are "strategic" readers. A good reader interacts
with the story he is reading. He predicts what will happen, questions
and wonders why events are happening, summarizes the events in the
story, and clarifies parts of the story which don't make sense.
When a good reader comes to a word he doesn't know, he has many
strategies he can use to figure out the unknown word.
