Self-Correcting While Reading
Check that text makes sense while reading and self-correct inaccurate reading by re-reading or using context
What a learner can do afterwards
- Notice when reading does not make sense and stop to re-read
- Self-correct errors mid-sentence (e.g. 'Wait, that doesn't sound right')
- Use meaning, sentence structure, and visual cues together to monitor reading
The lesson
Check that your reading makes sense as you go. If a sentence sounds odd, stop and look again.
Try it together
Mia read, 'The dog ran up the tree.' Wait, that does not make sense! She looked again. It said cat, not dog. Now the sentence makes sense.
Good to know
Stuck on a word? Look at the other words for clues. You can always re-read the sentence too.
If reading does not make sense, stop, look again, and fix it.
