Fix Up strategies

Use these when you can't remember what you read

TermDefinition
fix-up strategies Techniques that active readers use when reading or when they encounter unfamiliar concepts and/or difficult text. Fix-up strategies help to increase understanding.
predicting A reading strategy that involves gathering and using text clues to make a reasonable guess about what will happen next in a story. This strategy helps increase understanding by keeping the reader actively engaged in the text.
visualizing Active readers create images based on the words they read in the text, which increases understanding.
connecting a reader's process of relating the content of a literary work to his or her own knowledge and experience. We call this "connecting the known to the unknown" to increase understanding.
I wonder a reading strategy that encourages asking questions when reading and seeking the answers to the reader's questions to increase understanding and/or initiate further investigation, research and discovery.
Inference gathering and using clues from the text in order to determine what the author is "suggesting". A conclusion or opinion that is formed because of known facts or evidence.
iceberg model used to illustrate the hidden meaning in a literary work, story, drama, and/or poem. The tip represents the words on the page; the hidden message is "below the surface" in the form of inferences and/or symbolism, for example.
drawing conclusions combining the inferences you have made about the characters, setting, or plot to make a statement you have discovered from analyzing the text
actions, words, thoughts things you must consider when drawing a conclusion about a person or character ; note: appearance is not an accurate indicator of a character's personality or role in the story
Generalization A conclusion drawn from common traits demonstrated by a group. These should be based on facts and not stereotypes / opinions.
Theme Central idea of a work of literature
Motif A recurring theme, subject or idea
Symbolism A person, place, idea, or object which has a meaning in itself but suggests other meanings as well
Bias prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
context clues Clues in surrounding text that help the reader determine the meaning of an unknown word
prior knowledge knowledge you have before you read a text, which is used to make inferences about the text
reading voice the words you read from the text during reading
thinking voice thinking about the text you are reading and what it means to you
distracting voice thinking but NOT about the text you are reading; not paying attention to the text; off task; daydreaming
re-reading a "repair" strategy; when self-monitoring reveals a reader doesn't understand, they go back and re-read
