Fifth Grade Curriculum

Reading Strategies

Form Sensory Images

Proficient readers create visual and other sensory images from text during and after reading.  These images may include visual, auditory, and other sensory connections to the text.  Proficient readers use these images to deepen their understanding of the text.

Ask Questions

Proficient readers ask questions of themselves, the authors, and the texts they read.  They use their questions to clarify and to focus their reading.  These questions serve to propel them forward.

Connect Known to New

Proficient readers activate relevant, prior knowledge (schema) before, during, and after reading text.  They use prior knowledge to build mental models to use to evaluate what they read.

Infer Meaning

Proficient readers draw inferences from text.  They use their prior knowledge (schema) and textual information to draw conclusions, make critical judgments, and form unique interpretations from text.  Inferences may occur in the form of conclusions, predictions, or new ideas.

Determine Importance

Proficient readers determine the most important ideas and themes in a text.  They use their conclusions about important ideas to focus their reading and to exclude peripheral or unimportant details from memory.

Synthesize Ideas

Proficient readers retell and synthesize what they have read.  They attend to the most important information and to the clarity of the synthesis itself. They synthesize to better understand what they have read.
