=Mrs. Mallonen's Content Reading Class!=

If you have accessed this page then you already have an email account in Google or Gaggle, and I have invited you to the class. //Welcome!//

In this class we will work on our reading skills so that we are all successful finding and understanding information and new vocabulary in our reading for a specific subject area. This is called reading in the content area. We will read textbook passages, magazine articles, and Internet web pages.

Activities in this class include the following general reading strategies:
 * Gathering information we already know about a topic
 * Making predictions
 * Interpreting information
 * Defining important vocabulary words
 * Telling the difference between fact and opinion
 * Sequencing
 * Retelling/Summarizing
 * Sharing visual images that we gather from our reading

We will also explore some study skills and strategies to help you succeed.
