3.++Before+During+and+After

Any reading assignment can be broken down into three comprehension-building steps: This step activates a knowledge base upon which students can build and establishes a purpose for reading. // brainstorm · predict · skim · assess prior knowledge · preview headings · learn crucial vocabulary //
 * ** Step One: Before Reading **

This step allows students to measure comprehension, clarify, visualize, and build connections. //reread · infer · question · support predictions · summarize//
 * **Step Two: During Reading**

This step expands prior knowledge, builds connections, and deepens understanding. //reread · confirm predictions · summarize · synthesize · reflect · question//
 * ** Step Three: After Reading **
