4 To monitor understanding during reading, you can explain where you stopped to ask yourself whether you understood the content. If the text has a long or complex sentence, describe how you divided it up to understand it. Find places where you could ask questions such as: • Why would this ...? • Is this similar to ...? • How can I figure out what this new word means? • What does the writer want me to know? • What do I think will happen next? Why do I think that? • Do I need to re-read this for detailed information?


5 Now show learners how to evaluate their metacognitive strategies by asking and answering questions such as: • Did I read and understand this well? • What helped me to understand? What didn’t help? • What should I do next time I read about this topic? • What will help me remember what I read?


By engaging with how learners think, you can better prepare them for their lives and learning in the future.
