Hey, welcome to our podcast! This episode of PLSD Chats is about reading comprehension. I’m Dade. I’m Dayne. I’m Lanie. I’m Emily BHH-Book, what’s in the book. Head, what you think of the book. Heart, what the life lesson is READING PLAN- Plan how much you will read each night or day. VISUALIZE- Visualize means that you make events play out in your head like a movie while reading. READ IN CHUNKS- Reading in chunks means to read small bits of the book, take a break for two minutes, then start reading again. INDEX CARD- Write down things in your book that you think is important and use the index card as a bookmark when you have filled a card. You can even write down quotes that you like. Quotes can sometimes be used to figure out the moral of the story. Teachers are likely to let you use your cards during an AR Test. CHAPTER SUMMARY- Write at least 3 major events after each chapter. It may even help you to find a favorite quote after each chapter. RCW-Read a few pages, close your book, write down what you remember. SLOW DOWN WHEN READING- slow down when reading so you can think about what’s happening in the book. Thanks for listening to our podcast. Stay tuned for the next podcast. Bye!!!
