- 8. The Clarifier • You must clarify whenever you: • Read a word you don’t understand. • Find that sentence doesn’t make sense. • Are confused by what you have read. • Think about what you did to help you understand. • Explain that to the group and tell them what you think it means.
- 9. Things the clarifier can do: • • • • • • • Stop and think about what you have already read. Reread. Adjust your reading rate: slow down or speed up. Try and connect the text to something you read in another book, what you know about the world, or to something you have experienced. Make visual images. Reflect on what you have read. Use print conventions (key words, bold print, italicized words, and punctuation). • Look for little words inside big words. • Look for base or root words, prefixes, or suffixes. • Look for a comma following an unfamiliar word. Sometimes the author will give the definition after the comma. • Keep reading to see if you can get a sense of the definition.
