What are these reading strategies??

Each Strategy, worksheet, and approach to reading is designed to give readers a better understanding of the text in unique ways. These strategies approach the texts through all senses and all levels of thinking. The activities are fun and interesting, and every strategy is explained for the teacher and then a worksheet or directions are created for the students.
