Reading Fix-Up Strategies

Dear Families,

We've been working on comprehension strategies for the past two weeks. One thing we have focused on this week is what we call "fix-up strategies." These are things that we do as readers when we come to a word, or section of text that we don't understand. I've told the students that ALL readers need to use fix-up strategies at some point - even adults. So, i'd like to ask YOU to share some things that you do as a reader when you read something that you don't understand.

Thanks for sharing!

One thing that I do as a fix-up strategy is RE-READ! I slow down when I re-read and pay more attention to each word in the sentence! :)
