2. Read actively and record your thoughts.

Use the following ideas. (See “The Fantastical Fantasies of Frank Frisbie” on pages 313–316 for examples.)

    Predict upcoming events. 🟪&nbspPredicting what may happen next will keep you focused on the story.

    Infer. 🟪 Use what you’ve read so far to grasp an idea that is not specifically stated by the author.

    Check your understanding. 🟪  Stop reading from time to time and think about what you have just read. Reread when necessary.

    Summarize. 🟪 When you’re through reading for the day, write a short summary of your thoughts. (See pages 269–273 for summarizing suggestions.)

    Visualize scenes. 🟪 To do this, reread part of the story and ask yourself these questions about it:

    _____ What am I seeing?

    _____ What’s the color and size?

    _____ How many?

    _____ What’s the shape?

    _____ What do I hear, smell, taste, touch, feel?
