Cindy's+Reading+Corner

Hi everyone! Feel free to add any questions for discussion about reading. For starters, what kinds of questions do you ask yourself while you are reading to understand the book better or just to enjoy it more? Ex: How does the narrator feel right now? How can I tell? What have I gone through that's kind of like this?

I ask Can I pretend to be that character? ~Abi

Great idea! That's a neat way to get in touch with the character's thoughts and feelings.

I ask myself about different things like if I don't understand the word I sometimes just skip it because I read to myself. ~Leah

Wonderful strategy. Sometimes if we skip a word and read the rest of the sentence, other words or sentences around it will help us figure it out.

I always ask myslef if this is topic I can relate with. Next, I may ask questions like what is the setting of the story. I also love to make predictions about what will happen next. Katie
