Checking for Understanding

Make Sure You Really Get It

After you finish reading, pause and ask yourself what happened, why it happened, and what you learned. Summarize the main points aloud or write them down. If something is confusing, go back and reread or ask someone for help.

Examples

  • Summarizing each chapter in your own words after reading.

  • Asking a classmate to explain a part you didn’t understand.
