Reading Strategies
Before Reading: Interest Survey- This book would not be liked by everyone in the classroom so to make sure students will enjoy what they are reading have them take an interest survey before handing out books
During Reading: Fishbowl Discussion- Have a couple of students sit in the middle of the rest of the class and have a discussion about the book while the rest of the class listens in
After Reading: Students book talks- Have students get into groups with the people who read the same book they did to discuss what they read. After have the students get into groups with other classmates who read other books to discuss what they read and what could be the same or different in their books
