Think Aloud



Thinking about thinking, or metacognition, helps student to become better readers.  Parents can help students by modeling how they think about reading.  When reading aloud, you can stop from time to time and orally complete sentences like these:
  • So far, I've learned...
  • This made me think of...
  • That didn't make sense.
  • I think ___ will happen next.
  • I reread that part because...
  • I was confused by...
  • I think the most important part was...
  • That is interesting because...
  • I wonder why...
  • I just thought of...
