WHAT DOES A GOOD READER DO?
Good readers:
Know it is their responsibility to monitor
comprehension
Only hears the voice that reads the words when their
brains stop imagining the action occurring
Know when the voice inside their head starts
distracting them away from the text
Can remember what they just read
Know when they are not getting clarifying questions
answered
WHAT DOES A GOOD READER DO?
Good readers:
Know how to identify their own confusion
with a text
Know how to get themselves unstuck
while reading a text
LISTEN TO THE VOICES IN THEIR
HEADS!
THE RECITING VOICE
The voice that
repeats the words the
reader physically
sees on the page
Does not draw
meaning from the text
THE CONVERSATION VOICE
The voice that talks
back and forth with
the text
Represents the
reader’s own
thoughts about the
text
Interacts with the text
THE INTERACTING VOICE
Deepens
the reader’s understanding
of the text
This voice:
Makes connections
Asks questions
Identifies confusion
Agrees and disagrees with ideas
THE DISTRACTING VOICE
Ruh-roh! Pulls the
reader away from the
meaning of the text
Zoikes! Begins a
conversation with the
reading, but then
goes off-task with a
question, a
connection, or an idea
Jinkies! The reader is
thinking of something
unrelated to the text
SO, WHAT DO I DO TO GET AWAY
FROM THE DISTRACTING VOICE?
Make a connection
Make a prediction
Stop and think
about it
Ask a question
Write about it
Visualize it
Retell it
Reread it
Notice patterns in it
Slow down or
speed up
