5. Make Connections
Text to Self How does this relate to me?
Text to Text How does this relate to
something else I’ve seen/read/heard?
Text to World How does this relate to real
world events (past and present)?
6. Ask Questions
• Confused? Not sure what something means?
Or why it’s included?
• Put a ? next to confusing parts
• Jot down your questions
7. Make an Inference
An inference is an educated
guess based on 2 things:
– What you’re reading (text clues)
– What you already know outside
the reading (schema)
What can you infer from the
reading? Make an educated
guess or prediction!
9. Note Significant Parts/What Stands Out
• Highlight, underline, or * important info that
stands out to you
Careful not to go too
overboard with this one!
