Animal Reading Strategy Charts - Comprehension Skills

This set of 'Animal Reading Strategy Charts' was designed to help students identify the correct comprehension strategies to use to build literal and inferred meaning when reading.

 

They are designed to help students make connections between the text and their own experiences, find key information in a text, make inferences about characters' feelings and motives, build knowledge about the topic of the text and make predictions.
