central ideas in a meaningful way.

improves their memory for what is read.

Summarization strategies can be used in almost

every content area.

Importance of summarizing

It helps students learn to determine essentialideas and consolidate important details that

support them.

It enables students to focus on key words and

phrases of an assigned text that are worth noting

and remembering.

It teaches students how to take a large selection

of text and reduce it to the main points for more

Sequencing

The word "sequence" means to put something inorder from first to last.

Sequence of events in a story is the order in

which the events happen.


7/15

Importance of Sequencing

Knowing the sequence of events in a story helpsus to picture what is happening and when.

It helps make the story clear and easy to

follow. When events are not in order, the story

becomes blurry and hard to follow.

To understand how to do daily activities like

following a list of directions

when cooking or building something.


8/15

How do we use sequence ofevents to help us understand what

we are reading?

As you read, ask yourself, "What happened

first? What happened next?

Look for sequence words such as: first, next,

before, after, then, and finally

Picture the story in your mind as you are reading.

Think about what the character did first, second,and so forth.

directly stated and is an essential skill in reading

comprehension.

We make inferences every day, both in oral and

written communication.

My wife and I tried to pack light but we made surenot to forget our bathing suits and sun block. I

wasn't sure if I would get seasick again so I made

sure to pack some medicine for upset stomachs.

What can you deduct from the example given?

The author is married.

He and his wife are going on a trip.

They are going to be on a boat.

They will be around water.

They will be going swimming.

They have gone swimming before.

The author has gotten seasick on a boat in the

past.

Comparing and contrasting

What does Compare and Contrast mean?Compare is to think about how two things are

alike.

Contrast is to think about how two things are

different.

Why is Compare and Contrast an importantreading strategy?-Understanding similarities and differences helps

us to connect ideas together.- We can learn about something new by using

compare and contrast with something we know

more about.

- Being able compare and contrast helps us to


13/15

How do we use Compare and Contrast to helpus understand what we are reading?As you read, ask the question, "How are these

two things the same? How are these two things

different?"Look for signal words such as: alike, both, also,

difference, on the other hand, and unlike.


14/15

Drawing conclusions

The reader needs to "draw a conclusion" aboutwhat the author means. When we draw a

conclusion, we

take clues the author has given us and use what

we already know from our own experiences tohelp us

understand what is happening in the story.


15/15

Why is Drawing Conclusions an important readingstrategy?Drawing Conclusions is very important in understanding

what is happening in a story. For example, manytimes an author will describe story elements, rather thandirectly telling you where, when, who, and soforth. We need to draw conclusions in order tounderstand the important parts of the story.

How do we draw conclusions to help us understandwhat we are reading?

As you read, think about the characters, setting, problem,plot, and solution.Did the author give you any clues to think about?

Use the story clues and what you already know from yourown experiences (prior knowledge)to draw a conclusion about what is happening in thestory.
