Questions to Think About:
Are there times when you’ve read a book or textbook but still had trouble remembering the details of it for a test? Why do you think that happened?
Do you use any strategies while reading? Why? Do you feel they are effective?
Do you think any of these strategies are useful to teach students? (It’s more than okay if the answer is no.)
