Reading Strategy 12

“Reflect and respond.”

Good readers think about what they have read. They may relate their thoughts to their own experiences or emotions, expressing their opinions and justifying their point of view where appropriate. They are willing to modify and extend their thinking when exposed to other ideas, constantly cross-checking and refining their interpretations as they read.
