Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learn to establish a clear purpose for reading assigned and self-selected texts, generate questions before, during, and after reading to deepen comprehension, and make predictions using text features and genre characteristics. These metacognitive strategies help students become active, thoughtful readers who understand texts more deeply and enjoy reading more fully.

Learning Goals

  • Identify and state a clear purpose for reading assigned and self-selected texts.
  • Generate relevant questions about a text before, during, and after reading to deepen understanding and gather information.
  • Make predictions about a text using text features, genre characteristics, and text structures, and then confirm or correct those predictions as they read.
