READING SKILLS\/STRATEGIES<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

It is important for children to visualize, connect, question, infer and summarize while reading.<\/p>\n

In the primary grades, visualize, connect and question are the initial comprehension strategies.<\/p>\n

It is also important for children to build reading stamina so that they can move from independently reading for 10 minutes to 20 minutes and eventually 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
