| irony | expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite (It was raining on National Picnic Day). |
| foreshadow | when the author uses clues or imagery to express what might happen next |
| evidence based strategies for comprehension | think alouds, close reading, reciprocal teaching, annotating text, self-monitoring strategies |
| think alouds | models how skilled readers think through a text, promoting metacognition "I wonder why that happened" |
| close reading | encourages students to reread texts to analyze language, details, and structure |
| reciprocal teaching | in small groups, students take turns leading a discussion |
| annotating texts | students highlight unknown vocabulary, underline main ideas, and write comments or questions in the margins |
| self-monitoring strategies | teaches students to stop periodically and ask themselves "do I understand this?" |
| strategic reading skills | skimming, scanning, adjusting reading rate, and comprehension monitoring |
| skimming | scan the heading, first sentences, concluding paragraphs to locate key ideas |
| scanning | finding particular quotes, character names, or evidence to answer comprehension questions |
| adjusting reading rate | slowing down to analyze complex texts and speeding up for familiar material |
| comprehension monitoring | students evaluating if they understand what they are reading (using comprehension checklists) |
| strategies to support comprehension and analysis | strategic, purposeful read-alouds, text-based discussions, lit circles, graphic organizers, literary response journals |
| first person POV | a narrator in the story recounts his or her own perspective (I, we, me, us) |
| second person POV | the story is written in the perspective of YOU |
| third person objective POV | the narrator remains a detached observer, telling only the action and dialogue |
| third person limited POV | the narrator tells the story from the viewpoint of one character in the story |
| third person omniscient POV | the narrator has unlimited knowledge and can describe every character's thoughts and interpret their behavior. Omniscient means "all knowing" |
