There are many skills and steps that go into reading and analyzing a text. In English I, we use a wide range of strategies to help students practice these skills. I find that its important to explain why we are using the strategies. I always reiterate to my students that the process of using the strategies is the most important step. What you put down on paper is the result of complex thinking that took place first. We use the strategies to help guide our thinking and to stretch our abilities!
