The Three Stages Of Reading strategy involves teaching students
to delve into text. The Before Reading stage provides
a scaffold for new concepts and vocabulary, promotes engagement and provides
a means for prediction. The second stage, During Reading,
allows students to integrate the knowledge and information they bring
to the text with ‘new’ information in the text. The last stage,
After Reading, allows students to articulate and process
their understanding of what they have read and to think critically about
the validity of the text.
