Strategic Rereading

Whisper read, underlining words you’re not sure of (meaning or sound).

Read again for expression, skipping those words. Note the four W’s in the margins as you read.

Have you found all four W’s?

If so, skip to step 5. If not, continue with step 3.

Use the decoding strategy on words that keep you from understanding the text.

Reread with those words.

Repeat steps 3, and 4 until you have found all four W’s.
