meaning of a text and helps them to become increasingly skillful in the comprehension and
interpreting.
As an student… Good readers find out what is going to happen next.
They can figure out things that aren't there. Using this strategy before and during

words out letter-by-letter, they may have no chance of figuring out the word.
