During-Reading

Both pre- and postreading strategies can easily be modeled and practiced in our classrooms. However, at some point we must send our students off on their own to read silently. Guiding students while they read silently is the phase of reading instruction that researchers know the least about. We can help students read for a purpose and actively engage with the text. "The aim of effective Content Area Literacy instruction is not so much to teach //reading skills// as to build the habit of //skilled reading//" (Manzo, pg. 94).
 * BACKGROUND ** on the importance of using During-Reading Strategies:

In Instructional-Level study reading (which is what our textbooks are written as), students must be able to actively engage with the text, bring in prior knowledge, monitor their reading, fix-up what they aren't understanding, and do this for all subjects.
