Chapter 8

I really enjoyed chapter 8 because I think that many students when reading don’t fully understand the text being read. Students have to learn that while reading thy have to be processing their brain. It is essential for the students to learn how to question, predict, and make assumptions while they are reading. The book states that “questions are the master key to understanding.” When finding the answers to these questions, the students will have a different and more evolved comprehension of what was just read.

Students have to be taught to think before the reading, for example making predictions. During the reading, stop and think about what was read and continue to make predictions of what will come next. After reading check if they still have questions and if so look back and try to find the answers. With this they will have a full understanding of the text.
