pictures as they read, visualizing action,
characters, or themes.
4.Generating questions

become aware of whether they can
answer the questions and if they
understand what they are reading.

best way to do this is by RE-READING

demonstrate or model their reading
processes for students through thinkalouds, they often stop and predict what
will happen next to show how inferring is
essential for comprehending text.
