Active Reading Strategies


The Reading Journal: a strategy for connecting students to independent reading assignments
(Lori Schwilling, English)


"Competent Reading is an active process in which the reader calls on experience, language, and schemata (theoretical constructs of knowledge related to experiences) to anticipate and understand the author's written language."

"Reading comprehension is an interactive process of meaning construction..."
Roe,Stoodt, Burns, 2001


In other words a student understands what she is reading by connecting and putting new information into what she already knows.
