READING STRATEGIES
- Reread the
text
- Normally when reading a text for the first time we will stay with the main idea. If we want to go
deeper later, rereading it is one of the best options since when we know what it is about, the details
that we were initially able to overlook will be much more obvious after the second reading.

- Use your prior knowledge
- The information that we are learning in the course of our lives can be very helpful to face new situations.
Similarly, when we go to read a text, this prior knowledge is of utmost importance because it can facilitate
its understanding.

- Think out loud
- Everything makes more sense when we say it aloud since it is much easier to understand something
when it is explained through the voice instead of reading for oneself. If we read something and it turns
out that we have not fully understood it, repeating it out loud is an idea to consider.

- Read between the lines, use the context clues
- When we are immersed in reading a text and have problems with the meaning of a word but we do not
have tools to find out its meaning, we must look at the parts of the text that surround it. This is precisely
what we are talking about when we refer to "context clues." This method consists of understanding a
word whose meaning we do not know, placing it in context with the rest of the text. We must be able to
read between the lines, in the end everything is based on using logic.

- Locate the
keywords
- Coping with a text is not an easy task. Starting to write without following any type of structure or
without taking into account the elements that are part of the narrative story would be a mistake.
Writers usually place key words, words that are repeated throughout the text and that help the reader
to pay more attention unconsciously to what the author wants to highlight. Locating these keywords
can be very helpful for understanding the text.

- Make predictions
- An idea that can really help us when understanding a text is to create our own mental images of what we are
reading.

- Make a summary
- When we finish reading, some of the details may not have been completely clear. In this case,
gathering the most important data from the text such as the characters, the motive, the problems,
the results ... can help to fill in those small plot holes that were not completely clear during the first
reading.

- Text
organizers
- When studying or understanding a longer text, text organizers can become our greatest allies. We may know
them as concept maps, something very similar to a summary of the text but more ordered. In these maps we
would take the most relevant data which we would unite through connections with their respective concepts.
If there is any relationship between one concept and another, it is very positive to make a connection
between them or a hierarchy that helps to see graphically how one affects the other and vice versa.

- Evaluate what has been learned
- Once we have read the text in question, verifying if we have understood everything or if, on the
contrary, there are parts that have cost us more, it is very important to achieve a full understanding of
the text. If there is something that is not completely clear and we are aware of it from the beginning, it
is much better to notice it in time to be able to correct it.

- Question the text
- As we read we should take the time that is necessary to question the content. Asking questions about what
we are reading will help us understand your approach while also giving us a new perspective. If we question
what we have read, we will be able to interpret the story much better.

- Stop!
- We are not machines, so in the same way that our muscles get tired after doing physical activity, our
eyes and mind can also feel that tiredness. After long periods of time reading with hardly any rest,
our compression and attention will most likely decrease considerably. The most advisable thing in
these cases is to stop and take a break doing another type of activity that has nothing to do with
reading.

- Monitor and repair your understanding
- As readers we have to be focused on what we are reading putting all our attention on the story to understand
its argument. In the event that we do not fully understand what we have read, we must stop and try to repair
that lack of understanding. We can start by rereading what has not been completely clear and if we still have
difficulties we can always look for alternative solutions such as asking for help from someone who does
understand the content of the text.

- Paraphrase
- An excellent idea that we can carry out when we are not very clear about any concept of a text, is to try to repeat
what we have just read but using our own words.

- Take notes
- Notes are an important part of learning since they serve as a review. They are used to locate the important points
of the text and to organize its structure. Some notes made by hand will help us to have the ideas much clearer and
more organized.

- Adjust the pace at which you read
- It is very likely that when we start reading a text we will go much faster, but as we move forward in the story the
rate of reading slows down as our mind gets tired before. At this point we should not be burdened, understanding
is more important than speed. Here the one who understands wins.

- Take precedence for some information
- This is an important point since on some occasions the authors, in addition to making the main idea of their story
known, also mention a series of details that in one way or another serve to complement the main idea, although
they are not entirely relevant to their understanding. . This can end up confusing the reader and to prevent this
from happening, when we are faced with a fairly extensive text and full of information, the most advisable thing is
to focus on searching for what interests us and once we have understood the main idea, we will proceed to
provide more attention to small details.

- Set a goal for yourself as a reader
- For many reading is exciting and for others it is just another activity. What is a fact that can affect both avid
readers and people who spend less time reading is that in the long run reading for reading is not pleasant. The best
thing we can do to avoid getting tired of reading is to set ourselves a series of objectives, choose topics that
interest us and know when to take a break.

- Textual connections
- To have a better understanding of the text, it is not enough to read it. It is also necessary to detect
relationships within the story itself in the event that it was quite extensive. The connectors help a lot to carry
out this work since they can be very useful for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of what we are
reading.

- Take a quick read
- A simple way to interpret and get to know the main idea of a text at first, is to carry out a quick and
superficial reading that serves to obtain a general idea of what is happening in the story.

- Stop, Summarize, Ask
- Once we have finished reading, we must do three things that will help us find out if we have understood the
text in question. These three steps consist of stopping to reflect on what we have just read, make a short
summary of the content and finally move on to ask ourselves a series of questions in relation to the
argument. This translates into a better understanding of the text since during its reading we have looked for
solutions to understand that which we did not see clearly at first.
