Find places where you could ask questions such as: • Why would this...? • Is this similar to...? • How can I work 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?


Ask and answer questions post-reading 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?


When viewing drawings and visual data


Read text such as captions and labels and work out their relationship to the image. Draw on your prior knowledge. Ask what the image reminds you of or is similar to. As you view the image, think about what you already know about the subject and what more you


would like to know. • Ask yourself what the purpose of the image is. What information does it intend to convey?


• Look for patterns and conventions. • Try to understand how the parts link to the whole. • Read the key carefully for symbols, icons and labels.


When looking at, analysing and evaluating products


Draw on prior knowledge. Ask yourself what you already know about the subject and what more you would like to know. Analyse the product as a system. What are the inputs, processes and outputs? What is the


underlying structure? How do the parts or components relate to the whole? How does the product meet its function or purpose?
