Visualize |
Visualize characters, events, and setting to help you understand what's happening. When you read nonfiction, pay attention to the images that form in your mind as you read. |
Question |
Question what happens while you read. Searching for reasons behind events and characters' feelings can help you feel closer to what you are reading. |
Clarify |
Stop occasionally to review what you understand, and expect to have your understanding change and develop as you read on. Use resources to help you clarify your understanding. Re read when necessary. |
Evaluate |
Form opinions about what you read, both while you're reading and after you've finished. Develop your own ideas about characters and events. |
