READING PROCESS What Is the Reading Process? The steps a student follows in reading effectively are called the reading process. Examples: • A student should set a purpose, like information or entertainment, for reading before reading the selection. • The step in the reading process when a student looks over the selection is called previewing. • Before reading, a student should plan how he/she is going to remember the information from the selection. Strategies for remembering information from a reading selection are taking notes or creating graphic organizers. • A student should review his/her reading purpose during reading. • During reading, successful readers make connections between what is being read and his/her own life. • After reading, the successful reader should pause and think about what he/she has just read. This step in the reading process is called "pause and reflect." • Certain genres of literature need to be read more than once. This step in the reading process is called rereading. • The last step in the reading process is to think back and recall what was just read. This step is called remembering. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only.
