What do good readers do? They are active readers (Guthrie, et al. 1996, Guthrie, et al. 2004) They monitor as they read to make sure it makes sense (Baker and Beall 2008). They use strategies flexibly and adaptively based on their purpose(s) for reading and the nature of the text (RAND 2002). For example, good readers -identify the important information in the text -connect information within the text in meaningful ways -link information from the text to their own experiences -engage in questioning as they read -make inferences to fill in gaps in information explicitly stated.

predicting predicting Simply stated, good readers predict. When students predict they set a purpose for reading and anticipate what they will read. Lubliner (2001) Predicting is fundamental to comprehension. Good readers anticipate meaning. They do this by predicting what they think is going to happen in the selection and by revising their predictions as they read. Duffy (2003) Reading and comprehension are the gateways to learning.

Inference Inference Inferring is being able to read between the lines , when the author implies something but doesn t exactly state it. To infer, we need to use both the clues in the text (context, illustrations, etc.) and own prior knowledge. By using the text and our own prior knowledge, we can interpret what we think the author is really trying to say. Information (clues) + my prior knowledge = inference Reading and comprehension are the gateways to learning.
Inference Inference Inferring is the bedrock of understanding, inferring involved drawing a conclusion or making an interpretation from information that is not explicitly stated in the text. Writers do not usually spill information onto the page for all to plainly see. They leak the information slowly, one idea at a time to allow the reader to make reasonable visual images inferences. Reading and comprehension are the gateways to learning.
