When good readers read aloud, they are careful to say each word correctly. They read with accuracy which means they pronounce words correctly.
Target Skill: Point of View
One way to figure out an author's point of view is to think about the words and phrases he or she uses. When authors say good things about a subject, that usually means they have a positive point of view about the subject. If they say poor things, that usually means that they have a negative point of view.
Target Strategy: Summarize
Stopping periodically to summarize, or retell the important information, is a good strategy to use for reading informational text. Minor details should NOT be included in a summary.
One way to summarize is to first determine and list the main ideas, then put these main ideas together in one statement.
