The During-Reading Stage
The During-Reading Stage is a critical phase in the reading process where readers actively engage with the text to construct meaning. This stage occurs between the pre-reading and post-reading stages and is crucial for comprehension and analysis.
Key strategies for the During-Reading Stage include:
Monitoring comprehension: Checking understanding as reading progresses.
Visualizing: Creating mental images of the text content.
Making connections: Relating the text to personal experiences or other texts.
Predicting: Anticipating what might happen next based on available information.
Questioning: Generating and answering questions about the text.
Effective during-reading strategies help readers stay engaged with the text, improve comprehension, and prepare for deeper analysis in the post-reading stage.
