[strategies for stronger readers]


According to Mary Rogers Rose, strong readers demonstrate the following strategies:

"Before reading, effective readers:

  • Set clear goals for reading.

  • Actively pursue meaning and activate prior knowledge.
  • Preview the text.
  • Make predictions.
  • Generate questions to be answered.

    During reading, effective readers:

  • Pay close attention to text structure.
  • Read texts selectively based on purpose(s) for reading.
  • Construct and revise meaning.
  • Determine whether the text and information are meeting goals.
  • Integrate prior knowledge with information and ideas from text(s).
  • Think about and question the text’s and author’s information and ideas.
  • Monitor and revise understanding of the text.
  • Determine the meaning of unfamiliar words and concepts using a variety of strategies.
  • Reconcile inconsistencies or gaps in information and ideas as necessary.


    After reading effective readers:

  • Evaluate text quality and value.
  • Respond to text mainly through questioning, additional reading, or discussion.
  • Reflect upon texts during reading, during pauses in reading, and after reading.
  • Consider comprehension and learning to be satisfying and productive experiences."



I wonder how we can work these strategies into a reading of a new media fiction such as Inanimate Alice?
