So this blog needs to answer these questions.


What are some examples of pre/during/post strategies, and how do these strategies help students?

Some pre-strategies for reading a book are doing a journal with the kids about what they think the book will be about. Show them the first few pictures in the novel and ask them to predict what they think will happen next. This makes them use their imaginations and gives them the ability to use critical thinking skills in order to, from looking at the pictures, predict what will happen next.

Some strategies to use while reading the book is to use some things from the book and pull them out while reading the book and pass them around the class. It will give them some outside association with the book so in the future they see those items that you passed around they will remember the books.

Some post reading strategies would be to quiz them about the book. Take some of the items that you used for the book and take new items that weren't in the book and quiz your students about what was and was not in the book. It helps with their comprehension and retention.
