Reading for Understanding

Becoming a Stronger Reader

Understanding what you read is key for learning in every subject. Look for the main idea, important details, and use context clues to figure out new words.

Strategies to Help

  • Ask questions as you read.
  • Summarize paragraphs in your own words.
  • Use clues from pictures or other words.

Real-World Application

Good reading skills help you learn from textbooks, follow instructions, and enjoy stories or news.

Examples

  • Reading a recipe and following each step to make cookies.

  • Reading instructions for a science experiment at school.
